don't get me wrong, I'm against insulting people/their religions, but the term "blasphemy" is very nebulous and can range from "<religion/deity name> is <swear word>" to simply saying "I do not believe in <religion/deity name> due to lack of evidence". This was more of a hypothetical question that included both those meanings but I do not advocate going around insulting people.
Oh, I also don't know for a fact there is no god - I'm an agnostic atheist and subscribe to the position of weak atheism (I have not seen reasonable/good evidence for the existence of any deity/God/etc or the validation of any religion/supernatural phenomenon)
Have you found Jesus? If so read "the god dillusion"
