I agree, humans have no problem criticizing and blaspheming the religions of others, but don't aim that same logic at their own claims.
Probably because the critiques and blasphemies aren't based in logic.

Yes, Earth is God's beautiful golf ball. How can't you see that Brian? - Oh yes you explained it.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
