  The law of blasphemy in the UK needs to be repealed for the following reasons:
  
  1) it provides a favourable status to one religion over others
  
  2) religions should be robust enough to not be bothered by people challenging them or using their particular god's name "in vain"
  
  3) the followers of religions should have enough faith not to be bothered by what others think or say
  
  The biggest issue in ensuring all religions are treated the same is the special status all western countries afford Judaism & Jews, fuelled by the ongoing institutionalised guilt over what was allowed to happen both in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during the 1930's and 40's. My personal view is that there are perfectly adequate laws in the UK relating to harassment, assault, criminal damage etc. to cover the range of attacks Jews and others have suffered in the past and in the present and possibly the future; affording special protection or status does not diminish these attacks but rather makes them more likely due to that special status.
