Blasphemy, as defined in some religions or religion based laws, is an insult that shows contempt, disrespect or lack of reverence concerning a deity, a sacred object or something considered inviolable.
Some religions consider blasphemy to be a religious crime. As of 2012, anti-blasphemy laws existed in 32 countries, while 87 nations had hate speech laws that covered defamation of religion and public expression of hate against a religious group. Anti-blasphemy laws are particularly common in Muslim-majority nations, such as those in the Middle East and North Africa, although they are also present in some Asian and European countries. The Bible also mandates death by stoning or hanging for blasphemy. In Indian-origin religions like Hinduism, it varies among traditions. some traditions within Hinduism allows it while many hindu traditions prohibits blasphemy like the vedas(main scriptures of Hinduism) have hymns in which they pray to god to kill blasphemers and Adharmic people. and scriptures like srimad bhagavatam even order to kill blasphemers. Sikhism also condemn and prohibits blasphemy but buddhism and jainism have no concept of blasphemy because buddhism and jainism are atheistic dharmas/religions.
