Excerpt:
Insulting God will no longer be a crime in the Netherlands after the Dutch parliament decided to revoke a decades-old blasphemy law from the statute books.
The law, which was drafted in the 1930s, had not been used for half a century, leading legislators to decide there was no longer a need for it.
Discussions over whether to formally abolish blasphemy restrictions in the Netherlands began a decade ago as part of a debate about the limits of freedom of expression.
