Article summary: 
A recent study polling roughly 20 countries on an individual’s right to criticize religion has caused great controversy.   Respondents are divided on the issue: 57% affirming an individual’s right to freely criticize religion in public, seeing this as freedom of expression; on the other hand 34% completely opposed it, instead calling for the government to punish anyone seeking to criticize religion through misrepresentation .
