FFRF applauds Ireland for voting to repeal the nation’s constitutional ban on blasphemy. The theocratic provision was a national embarrassment for Ireland and was lampooned by figures such as English comedian Stephen Fry, who was initially slapped with blasphemy charges that were later dropped. 

Following this vote, the Irish may now blaspheme to their hearts’ content. After all, blasphemy is a victimless crime.
