I'm not going to address your first question too much. But there is a movement of non religious people who are behaving in a religious manner in regards to blasphemy and bullying. How do we prevent it? Freedoms of speech. Allow ideas, of all kinds, to be openly discussed and debated. Don't accept soundbites, buzzwords, and 5 minute segments on important topics to be considered acceptable. Over time the best ideas will rise to the top when all ideas are allowed to get discussed and debated. Now some will say some ideas are so abhorrent and stupid we shouldn't let them have any time. That's dumb. If the idea is truly so bad then it should be easy to dismantle it in an open discussion or debate. By shutting down discussion people give more credit than they realize to these bad ideas.
There's nothing here!
