The flip side to your argument is what would be decided as blasphemy. A Mormon blasphemy could be different than a Catholic blasphemy but under the same warning.

But if something on TV is blasphemous, it would upset A LOT of people. That isn’t an opinion, it is simply a fact, like it or not. Violence, drug use, nudity exist, unlike your magic man in the sky. Of course some will argue this, but it’s a belief at best. And no you have no right to ask me to cater to your beliefs. All these religions have their quirks and things not to do. Can’t drink alcohol, can’t do shit on Saturday, wear this or that only for this occasion, can’t open a jar of pickles on your toilet, etc… If someone from their own cult doesn’t do this, or say something about them, they can complain to them. For the rest of the world it doesn’t exist and don’t need to be bothered with it. Religions and cults imposing their ways on non-believers are a known part of history. They have literally killed for it. It is a matter of principle to not give in to any infringements of personal freedom. No matter how little effort it would take. I don’t care if that upsets you. If the majority of the world is going to be religious, it will have to be catered to, or else a lot of people will make a fuss. the majority of the world is unfortunately. But “you have to bend because there’s more of us” is not an argument. It is obnoxious at best if not threatening. It’s a small step from “don’t say something bad about our invention you have nothing to do with” towards “follow these rules of our invention you have nothing to do with”

What do atheists have to do with this? You can find at least two people who disagree on where the line is in the same church/temple/etc, much less the same religion. Hell, I know people who sit on the same pew and disagree on K-POP Demon Hunters. Taking the position that it’s all made up as they go sounds like they are the ones who know better. Just ask everyone who believes in a god to come to an agreement. Or take the easy route and slap a B on everything.

If you want to protect other people’s hurt feelings so much to include “they made fun of my sky-owner!”, the you’d surely want to include Vegans, trans, blind, gay, onelegged and people with allergies… Or is it just about YOUR feelings that are important for the rest of the world to pamper? 😉
