Yes. I'm a Christian, but I support the human right to criticize religion. I put this in the NSFW section because this video has adult content, and I want to be respectful. It definitely should be legal to criticise religion. What should not be legal is discrimination on the basis that you follow a certain religion and don't like people who follow a different one. That isn't criticism you see: it's bigotry. It's basically the same thing as living in a multicultural prison and blaming blacks for the poor conditions. Side: No.

To challenge or criticize the scriptures upon which a religion is based is, as it should be a legal pursuit. Unlike other, more violent religions the Christian faith is sufficiently robust to withstand the derisive scorning from non believers and its devout followers are adequately steadfast in their religious conviction to passively tolerate ''the slings and arrows'' of their tormentors. For instance, having made certain that your life insurance policy is valid and up to date, try going into a Muslim community, say in deepest Birmingham, England, and openly criticize the myths upon which the Islamic religion is founded and discover the true meaning of intolerance and savage violence. Hallelujah brother, hallelujah. Side: Yes.

This topic is subjective and an opinion based, having the right to an opinion is a basic human right and honestly i dont think that should change, if you really think about it, the act of critizising religion doesn't really affect anyone indevidually and its just an expression of ones opinion. Obviously if they were yyelling and shouting and protesting in public it may be a different story but if you yourself just criticize a religion because of your personal beliefs then that should be left up to you as the indevidual. Side: Yes.

No of course it souldn't, i mean you're allowed to don't be part of a religion because you don't believe it or else but have to respect it, it's very important to not offense the people who are in a religion. We have to live together no matter our religion, our origins, our skin color..... Side: No.
