Religious opposition to homosexuality is evident in the world's two major religions, Christianity and Islam.  For both, the most severe punishment for homosexual acts has been the death penalty, which was practiced in Medieval, Renaissance, and Modern Europe before the 1900, in the United States in earlier centuries, and in some Islamic countries to the present day.<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A7715315]</ref> <ref>[http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Islamonline-English-Ask_Scholar/FatwaE/FatwaE&cid=1119503547102]</ref>  More recently, some Christians and others have established organizations to help people who want to change deal with their homosexuality through counselling, prayer, and re-prioritizing their lives (see the external links, below).
