(Late) International Blasphemy Rights Day

I totally missed the day this year: September 30, 2015:

International Blasphemy Rights Day, held each year on September 30, is a day to show solidarity with those who challenge oppressive laws and social prohibitions against free expression, to support the right to challenge prevailing religious beliefs without fear of violence, arrest, or persecution.



Any idea, including any idea of god(s)(esses), should be open to the challenge of evidence.  An idea that fails to match up to testable reality should have no power to force compliance to its accompanying rites and taboos.
