Free expression including blasphemy may be tolerated in a political sense in order that greater societal vices may be minimized. But this is a prudential judgement.

This moral relativist position hardly leaves you much room to pontificate on matters of ethics.

moral relativist position

Comparing two imperfect outcomes against a single moral standard, and choosing the lesser evil, is not moral relativism.
