This looks to me like one of those laws that will sit in a drawer and be used further on the down the track when things get really out of control.
Hypothetically, if Atheists take over the positions of power in the world and try to outlaw religion , at least Ireland is one place people will be able to go to practice their beliefs in peace.
You have to admit, there is a crusade to do away with religion by Atheists.
This law, I think, is to pre empt what they see coming down the pike.
*Atheists can be prosecuted for saying that God is imaginary. That causes outrage.
*Pagans can be prosecuted for saying they left Christianity because God is violent and bloodthirsty, promotes genocide, and permits slavery.
*Christians can be prosecuted for saying that Allah is a moon god, or for drawing a picture of Mohammed, or for saying that Islam is a violent religion which breeds terrorists.
*Jews can be prosecuted for saying Jesus isn’t the Messiah.

If this article is correct, this is not limited to what a few are saying on this thread: That this is Christian protectionism. This apparently includes everyone. Again, if the article is true:
*Atheists can be prosecuted for saying that God is imaginary. That causes outrage.
*Pagans can be prosecuted for saying they left Christianity because God is violent and bloodthirsty, promotes genocide, and permits slavery.
*Christians can be prosecuted for saying that Allah is a moon god, or for drawing a picture of Mohammed, or for saying that Islam is a violent religion which breeds terrorists.

This is absurd. Basically people would be prosecuted and fined simply for stating a disbelieving opinion about another religion. Christianity is not the only religion that would be protected under this law. I just have no idea if this is true or is being blown way out of proportion.
