Debate 2 of 2 - Free speech is impossible whilst we have religion

So again, I tend to partake in a lot of conversations these days with friends, on podcasts and via local groups... and another topic that was brought up for discussion was as follows....

True free speech can never exist whilst theism exists in it's current guise where is can influence law to have certain things said, a criminal offense.

For example, simply belittling a religion publically in most countries can now be considered, inciting hatred.

I tend to find I'm usually more positive then most I discuss with and see positive sides, however, on this topic I do personally agree with the motion.
