Yes Brian like calling atheists all of those things. Incitement is a thing. Whoever does it.
I disagree about secularists. The ones I've heard have an agenda to deny the identity of theists. They want to remove the right to love God.
NO. Outright censorship is not what anyone should advocate.
Of course free speech is regulated as it should be. You cant sell porn to a 5 year old. You cant yell fire in a theater. The limit is when it incites violence or calls for violence. Merely getting your god picked on or having your feelings hurt does not condone censorship.
Now I am going to make up a god name and you tell me which is an arrestable offense?
FOR EXAMPLE
"Fuck your almighty snarfwidget up the ass"
Or
"Go kill snarfwidget followers"
The first is offensive, the second is illegal.
Depicting Mo, or Jesus or Vishnu or even politicians or celebrities in offensive ways isn't calling for the deaths of their fans.
The price of living in a free society is that sometimes you will get your claims picked on.
