 Section 140 of the criminal code , known as the blasphemy law , prohibits disturbing public order by publicly ridiculing or insulting the dogmas of worship of any lawfully existing religious community in Denmark . Only one case , a 1938 case involving an anti @-@ Semitic group , has ever resulted in a sentence . The most recent case was in 1971 when a programme director of Danmarks Radio was accused in a case involving a song about the Christian god , but was found not guilty .
