Free Speech Watch: Gagging in Ireland but blaspheming in Canada

Dateline July 10, 2009: Ireland’s government passes a bill criminalizing blasphemy. The Friendly Atheist offers a summary of the bill and its implications.

We look forward to new bus ads about atheism in Canada (and especially in Halifax). We also look forward to the first arrest for blasphemy in Ireland. Stay tuned…
