God knows America isn't perfect. But one thing I'm very grateful for is how strongly the Supreme Court traditionally backs and supports freedom of speech in all its forms, no matter if it's hate or blasphemy or what. I know most of the west has some support for these kinds of things, but there is also a tradition about it here that, from what I can tell, just doesn't exist in other many other countries, even countries not that dissimilar from the US, like Canada or the UK.
This excerpt from a newspaper in a Muslim country - where church and state are not separated - illustrates very clearly how a secular society (even if the population is religious, the state shouldn't be), with strong personal freedoms is just the best way to go.
