Nothing is sacrosanct in the modern world. There are many harmful religious practices that need to be questioned. People should have the freedom to criticize these practices. People should be free to perform historical research on religious figures and ideas in an objective and dispassionate manner, and publish this research without fear. People should also have the freedom to write fictional stories involving religious themes. Nobody should fear any kind of retribution from any spooky domain. Religious fundamentalists who choose to cause physical harm to such individuals should be prosecuted. Cheers, Santosh
