While I'm sure most people doing this are just irl trolls looking for outrage rather than making any deeper political point, the return of blasphemy laws to Europe after we spent so long removing them and lowering religions influcance seems like a backwards step.
But you knew that, because you read the article you commented on, right?
They can say what they want, but when they're adding special protections for one piece of literature as it's a religious one, that's what they're already doing.
They want to add it for holy scriptures in general. So your book of the flying spaghettimonster should be protected, too.
How does that make it better?
