Thoughtcrimes are victimless "crimes", too.

As far as you see the potntial God as victim you are probably right, but there are of course the believers who suffer by it. So even if we only look at the people we do have victims.

The more you think about it, the more you realize that the one who blasphemes victimizes their self.

But what if no God exists? Can one blaspheme a non-existed deity, and if not, who is the victim?

(Disclaimer. I am not proffering the delights of blasphemy, and do of course recognise that blasphemy is offensive to those who do believe).

Can it get darker in a room if those sitting in it are blind?

If God doesn't exist, then neither does blasphemy.

(Don't worry, I'm not offended when I hear blasphemies against God, and I don't hear you ever actually doing that in a direct sense. When Jesus was being nailed to the cross He said, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." )
