P.S. Sorry for the links to German wikipedia. These articles describe the German situation in Germany and as such are not available in English. May be deepl.com can help.
And the US is trying to make it illegal to burn the flag, which is blasphemy against civic religion. And you can be arrested for blasphemy against Zionism and the American military industrial complex by protesting Israeli genocide and America's complicity in it.
I also consider laws banning abortion to be anti-blasphemy laws since Christian doctrine is the basis for those laws.
And as far as crosses go, numerous US states now require the posting of the Ten Commandments and incorporating the Bible into the curriculum, thanks to the Supreme Court essentially repealing the separation of church and state.
Not to say the US is at the point of sending someone to prison for a "blasphemous" t-shirt, but let's not pretend America isn't headed gleefully in that direction. It's bad when it's Islam but OK when it's Christianity.
