There is nothing wrong with insulting religions either. Insulting a religion is not the same as insulting believers.
You couldn't be more wrong about that, and I feel the same way in regards to non-thiestic religions such as atheism and humanism. That said, insulting religious leaders is in general not the same as insulting their religion or their followers. I say in general because in a very real sense, Muhammad, Jesus, Gautama , etc. have transcended being people who are leaders of a religion to becoming symbols of that religion. That's a distinction that many secularists have difficulty grasping the concept of, let alone acknowledging the validity thereof.
Atheism is a religion?
