What all three of the monotheistic religions have in common, is the "indesputability"of their various "sacred scriptures". Judeo-Christian-Islam is intolerant of any form of democracy or any form of free intellectual activity. ERGO: Reject the "Laws against Blasphemy" and you reject, at once, the entire basis of the religion.
That isn't even remotely what Christianity is about.

Anyway. I am not insulted when one disrespects or insults my religion, or even when they disrespect or insult me. I see it more as a reflection of the person who is doing the insulting, stay confident in my own feelings, and move on with my life.
I think if more people treated it like that we wouldn't have so much 'offense' and all this attempt toward 'political correctness' would go away.
