There are still a few 'Blasphemy' type laws on the books in the US.
However, you have to understand how the law works here, you can have useless, unprosecutable laws on the books for centuries... it's liike having legacy DNA that does nothing.
Judges are the ones that ultimately correct laws, but they cannot create them or act unilaterally on them. A Judge cannot search through a law book... find an unconstitutional law... and then strike it down.
Some other dupe, like a super-christard sheriff somewhere, has to actually arrest someone for the dumb ass offense, an equally super-christard district Attorney has to think persecution is a good idea... THEN it can go before a Judge and be struck down for unconstitutionality.
It's all part of an elaborate process with checks and balances to keep any individual or group from screwing it over too badly.
At least that's the theory... the number of super-christards is growing all the time. Will it eventually reach critical mass? Dunno!
