Definition of Defame: to attack or injure the reputation or honor of by false and malicious statements; malign, slander, or libel
Legal definition of Defame: Any intentional false communication, either written or spoken, that harms a person's reputation; decreases the respect, regard, or confidence in which a person is held; or induces disparaging, hostile, or disagreeable opinions or feelings against a person.
One can only defame a person, not an idea. Religion, like all cultural constructs, is an idea.
All ideas are candidates for discussion.
