I think you've stated it well. I agree with all 3 reasons (minus the religious part).
One of the arguments given in favor of the death penalty is its use as a deterrent, but studies have shown this to be false. In fact, states who recently implemented the death penalty or restarted it have seen an increase in the number of violent crimes.
