I can get along with individuals, but as an idea religion must always be subject to scrutiny.

I think the point is that many Xians in the UK work on environmental issues because that's what they think Xians should do. Mankind given stewardship of the earth with God as owner, that sort of thing. It's important they (we) don't put religion on the back burner.

Blaspheming religion, and scrutinising religion, are two different things. Those atheists I'm familiar with at the cutting edge of the latter generally don't like doing the former.

If I may I disagree. They're not mutually exclusive.

A good barometer on the tolerance shown to others by religious organisations is their reaction to blasphemy and specifically the people (be they individuals or groups) doing the blaspheming.

A lot of religions desire a world in which scrutiny of their affairs is limited to those who have the power to affect them. By making light of this desire (perhaps through blasphemy), one is effectively scrutinising and critiquing it at the same time.
