We actually used to have 'Blasphemy Laws' here in the US. Until Jefferson's Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom was enacted in 1786 that state had laws on the books making denial of the Holy Trinity punishable by thirty days in jail, and blasphemy against the Anglican Church punishable by death. It had been decades since either was enforced, but they were still there.
But, supposedly, we've grown since then.
