> And insulting any religions is not acceptable and deserve to be punished.

Why?

I believe all religions are a bunch of bullshit. Almost all of them regard this belief as a mortal insult. Should I get punished for that?

The only tenable way to treat religions in a liberal democracy is like any other belief. You get full freedom to practice any one you want, or none of them, or even more than one at the same time for all I care, but you don't get any special status or moral authority.

You may believe in no religion, but I don't think you should say that in public. Especially in front of any religius person you say "your religion is bullshit!".

Maybe if that as insult to others.

I agree to this point. But you do not automatically have right to insult other's believe.
