The US Supreme Court in Joseph Burstyn, Inc v. Wilson, 343 U.S. 495 (1952) held that the New York State blasphemy law was an unconstitutional prior restraint on freedom of speech.
Opinion of Supreme Court:
"from the standpoint of freedom of speech and the press, it is enough to point out that the state has no legitimate interest in protecting any or all religions from views distasteful to them which is sufficient to justify prior restraints upon the expression of those views. It is not the business of government in our nation to suppress real or imagined attacks upon a particular religious doctrine, whether they appear in publications, speeches, or motion pictures."

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees us the right
to free speech. In this country, religion(s) are not exempt from free
speech, which may include discussions, criticism, mockery, comedy,
spite, and/or malice.
