Well, by that logic, Switzerland isn’t a democracy. The country that decides pretty much everything on referendum.
And Ireland only became a democracy 3 years ago.
For what it’s worth, Blasphemy laws can be compatible with democracy. Democracy is only about fair elections and rule of the people. If the people want blasphemy laws, that’s still democracy.
Freedom is a spectrum - and blasphemy laws just make a country less free. Not necessarily less Democratic.
I stand my point.
Every law restructs freedom one way or another. That is their purpouse so that people can live together peacefully.
Blasphemy laws are not the same, they restrict what people can say or do about concepts and beliefs. A democracy where fantasy books have equal rights as people is a democracy by name.

Switzerland isn’t a democracy. It’s a dictatorship of the bourgeois and a country that the bourgeois control can never be democratic
