The freedom to criticise ideas, any ideas - even if they are sincerely held beliefs - is one of the fundamental freedoms of society. A law which attempts to say you can criticise and ridicule ideas as long as they are not religious ideas is a very peculiar law indeed.
Rowan Atkinson, quoted in BBC News, Religious jokes 'won't be crime' (Dec. 7, 2004), cited in Little Green Footballs.
