You would probably get locked up. But it depends what the religion is you're insulting, if it's Islam or Judaism the chances are high I think , Christianity not as high and so on.
This is where Europe needs a fucking history lesson, didn't you guys learn a damned thing from the Dark ages? PC is a form of fascism. No one has the right to be free from being offended.
And what does this say about ANY GOD be it Allah/Yahweh or Jesus if it needs mere mortals to defend it? And what a petty dictator it would have to be in a world full of famine, disease, war and crime to make it's top priority to be not being called names.
When anyone says "Don't pick on my God" I get the image of a midget standing spread eagle in front of t he Terminator shouting "DON'T HIT MY GOD YOU MIGHT HURT HIM".
God/s as concepts are nothing but a mental placebo people concoct to protect their own egos. Humanity fortunately has proven it can progress beyond it's own selfish narcissism through blasphemy.
As soon as someone says "I will punish you for picking on me" fear them and never trust them with political power.
