No one thinks for one minute that those societies which already punish blasphemers, heretics and apostates are going to change their ways because USian politicians waggled their collective finger and said, ‘Naughty, naughty.’

It’s a start—it will take a while but eventually this will start putting pressure on governments.
No, it isn't a start, and it won't pressure anyone. It's a resolution, which means it doesn't have the force of law, which means the US can and will do nothing beyond righteous indignation and hand-wringing. It's going to impact the world about as much as National Hot Dog Week or Take Your Ferret To Work Day.
It's a feel-good nothing burger.
