===England and Wales=== In 1985, the Law Commission (England and Wales) published a report, ''Criminal Law: Offences against Religious and Public Worship'', that concluded that the common law offences of blasphemy and blasphemous libel should be abolished without replacement. In [[England and Wales]], the [[common law offence]] of blasphemous libel was abolished on 8 July 2008 by the [[Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008]]. The [[Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006]] created an offence of inciting hatred against a person on the grounds of their religion.
