Hm, yeah. That point of view makes a certain kind of sense, but I can't find any way to accept that view of "this is important to me, so you can only mention it when referring to the thing I'm referring to".

If I'm not using the name to insult your God/spiritual leader/whatnot, you have no moral right to prevent me. I think that the intent to offend is the crux here, and if there's no offensive intent, there should be no issue.

Even if you are insulting their God/spiritual leader/whatnot, they still have no right to prevent you.
True, but if you're insulting people, it's not nice and you should stop. Maybe they don't have a right to stop you, but I personally believe it's morally wrong.
