Here are the pictures we haven't been allowed to see in UK. Remember it's ok to be rude about religion. There is no God.

In the 18th C Voltaire satirized Christianity. To insult religion is to disagree with someones ideas, which is Ok, you may find their attempts to convince you of an omnipotent being who proscribes natural activities faintly insulting, but it does not mean you tell them they should be banned from mentioning their absurd fantasies, and threaten to kill them if they keep going on about their "faith".

To deal with another point zealots often make : Racism etc are discouraged and censored in newspapers because, in general democratic society has made a decision that racial prejudice is harmful and based on false premises and not something up for debate, like religion. We can only hope for a day in the distant future when sane human societies have concluded that religion is an offensive affront to common sense, but still I don't think we'll need to ban it.
