I used the word 'gloss' in the sense of 'interpret', Jim, as in 'glossary'; not in the sense of 'glossing over' anything. Sorry this was not clear - my fault. But I think my point holds nonetheless, that actual cap·pun for apostasy occurs nowhere today within the Christian community. I, for instance, am a baptised and confirmed member of the Church of England. [No Jews made any move to execute me when I became so in middle age, for that matter]. But when I declared myself no longer so, and declared explicitly that I had reverted to my default position of atheism, as my trying of an alternative to see if it suited had not done so [as my dear Valerie, a born CofE but atheist like me, put it, it never 'took']. But the vicar didn't call a meeting of the Parochial Church Council to sentence me to be beheaded on the village green. I am not being facetious in pointing out that there are villages in some Muslim countries where that would have been the literal outcome.

But still no-one has come up with an instance of any present-day Christian society where it would be so.

WHICH, I REPEAT, IS THE QUESTION I ASKED, DESPITE SO MUCH EFFORT BY YOU AND OTHERS TO SUPPLY IRRELEVANT ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS WHICH I DIDN'T ASK.
