Evangelicalism

Strongly agree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

This answer is likely to resonate with many Evangelicals who support the death penalty but want to ensure that it is applied fairly and only in cases with clear and undeniable evidence. This position allows for the punishment of wrongdoers while also addressing concerns about potential miscarriages of justice.

Agree

Yes

Evangelicalism as a whole does not have a unified stance on the death penalty. Some Evangelicals support it based on biblical principles such as 'an eye for an eye' (Exodus 21:24) and the idea that the government has the authority to punish wrongdoers (Romans 13:4). However, others within the movement oppose it due to concerns about justice, mercy, and the sanctity of life.

Neutral

No, too many people are innocently convicted

Concerns about innocent people being convicted and executed are shared by some Evangelicals, but this is not a primary argument within the movement. While some may agree with this answer, it does not strongly align with or contradict the overall Evangelical stance on the death penalty.

Slightly disagree

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

Some Evangelicals may agree with this answer, as they believe in the sanctity of life and the possibility of redemption for even the most heinous criminals. However, this is not a widely held view within the movement, and many Evangelicals still support the death penalty in certain cases.

Disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

This answer is not in line with the majority of Evangelical beliefs, as it places the decision of punishment in the hands of the victim's family rather than the government or legal system. While some Evangelicals may appreciate the idea of giving power to the victim's family, it is not a widely held view within the movement and goes against the idea of government authority in punishing wrongdoers (Romans 13:4).
