An interesting website with many great data visualization.

Known by the company we keep.

"The 18 countries known to have conducted executions in 2009 were: Bangladesh, Botswana, China, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Japan, Libya, Malaysia, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sudan, Syria, Thailand, the United States, Vietnam and Yemen."

There are like 2 countries that I feel stand out from this list as "probably shouldn't be on there." Not that any country should be on this list.

Am I right in observing that the United States are the only predominantly Christian country on this list?
