Without freedom of speech there is no freedom of religion. Thus the person = slave to the state and the religion and the 'religion' is corrupted/fake. The only way for an expression of faith to have meaning separate from government/community compliance is to have assurance of free-speech.

YES, Because we don't live in a theocratic dictatorship.

I don't think public satire should be allowed. In private people should be free to say what they want to.
I'm no fan of religion, but because it can be easily abused by a corrupt media to avoid and dismiss real problems.

Yeah but the judge fucking EXISTS.
Italy is NOT a theocracy. No "special respect" for anybody. If you drive masses to vote one way or another, you can't just expect not being criticized, even on satirical ways, because of "your position". Which position??

Of course it should be completely allowed. Expecially now that religious leaders DO politics in television and drive the masses to voting one way or another, it would be just an unfair advantage that "for their position" they are immune to joking critics. And then? No more rational critics allowed? Or on scientific matters? Because of their position? Do we really want to return in the dark ages?
