    mocking gay or disable is the strong mock the weak ,it's not moral and not accepted by most people now days ,but it's still free ,if you say no ,that's a kind of dictatorship
    but mocking religion is the weak mock the strong ,as history suggests.

    and it's also the truth mock the lies.freedom of speech is the enemy of lies and dictators .

    Strong in what sense? There are places and certainly communities where religion isn't the strong one. How do you make the distinction? On this forum, for instance, i find the activity of atheists outweigh that of theists, and consequentially, I spend most of my time defending (in lack of a better word) religion.

    Mocking or criticizing an idea is a lot different than a person. All ideas, like religion, are subject to mocking, criticism, and debate.

    I still don't understand what your imaginary line between strong and weak has to do with any of this.

    Strength is subjective and what is strength to one will be seen as weakness by another. I further argue that if one is part of a religion and sees their religion as a position of strength, whilst judging non believers as weak, then I would say that is position rooted in bias.
