Blasphemy Laws are so stupid. Thinking that people should be punished for not believing X is one of most backwards things there is out there.
Simple: Start going to one of those new atheist churches, declare that it’s your religion when you do your taxes/census/etc, and the blasphemy laws ought to work in your favor.
(That should read “any blasphemy law written well enough to be legally enforceable”)
