Should theists learn to accept being treated with contempt?

41. Do you really see blasphemy in the same category as racism and misogyny?

A reminder of the definition at the start of the thread that seems to have set you off:

Blasphemy is the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for a religious deity or the irreverence towards religious or holy persons or things, or toward something considered sacred or inviolable.[1][2] Blasphemies can also mean any irreverent or disrespectful action or remark.[3] Some countries have laws to punish religious blasphemy,[4] while others have laws that sanction those who are offended by blasphemy to effect their wrath on blasphemers. Those laws may condone penalties or retaliation for blasphemy under the labels of blasphemous libel,[5] expression of opposition, or "vilification," of religion or of some religious practices,[6][7] religious insult,[8] or hate speech.[9] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasphemy

"Deities", "holy persons" (living? Who gets to declare a person "holy"?), "things", or "something". Not classes of people, which racism and misogyny are about. The poor and LGBTQ people are classes of people too.

Are you really saying that sacred objects, or supernatural beings, have the rights and expectations that humans have? That we must show reverence to any person declared "holy", rather than treating them as a human being just like us?

You're cheapening the idea of human rights, for the sake of unproven ghosts, charlatans, and relics. You're trying to paint yourself as someone concerned with the poor, etc. rather than someone who wants to use them as a prop in a poorly thought-out argument.
