==Description==

'''Blasphemy''' is irreverence  toward [[holy]][[person]]ages, religious [[artifacts]], [[customs]], and [[beliefs]]. The [[Abraham]]ic [[religions]] condemn blasphemy vehemently. Some countries have [[laws]] to punish blasphemy, while others have laws to give recourse to those who are offended by blasphemy. Those laws may discourage blasphemy as a matter of blasphemous libel, vilification of [[religion]], religious insult, or hate [[speech]]. The [[idea]] of blasphemy makes the [[word]] amenable to colloquial usage.
