I read the post you cited, and to be honest it contradicts itself in many places. Whilst the Qu'ran does not specifically state a punishment for apostasy it hints at both leniency and death. The hadiths do blatantly proscribe death and at the same time offer mercy on it's own terms.
Regardless of these readings or interpretations the following still applies:
Today apostasy is punishable by death in the countries of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Yemen, Iran, Sudan, Afghanistan and Mauritania. In Pakistan blasphemy is also punishable by death.
Many extra judicial murders are carried out for apostasy by individual Muslims - no other religion I know has this 'thought', be it against Islam or no, so deeply ingrained in its adherents.
The basic freedom of thought and to live by ones conscience is what it is to be human. Even if the 'punishment' is never applied it should be repealed.
Anyway a hypocrite drinking is far worse than an apostate being honest with themselves and those around them, in my opinion.
"Deaths in the Bible. God - 2,270,365
not including the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the
many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers
were given. Satan - 10."
