A person who is good only because of punishment from their deity is not really good either.

Perhaps if people STFU about their religion and keep it in their home or place of worship, and STOP trying to incorporate religion into Secular Government would go a long way to not having to worry about blasphemy or being offended by others who do share your same religion.

If people want to talk about their religion in public then others can speak ill of it, if they so choose, in public too.
