This discussion doesn't help. The suggestion is "espouse" which is too neutral. "Contradict" is too specific, and "challenge" too broad.

Yeah but without context, it is ambiguous. You can also commit crimes, commit to marriage or a goal...

Okay, 3 votes for blaspheme. It assumes something like a clearly marked orthodoxy as a referent...

No! Blaspheming is insulting/denying the deity, heresy is making unorthodox claims about the deity. The act of taking the Lord’s name in vain is definitely blasphemy, but (lacking a truth claim) I don’t see how it could be heresy.

"Hereticate" is in th OED.

I think “hereticate” means to denounce something as heretical, not to say something that is heretical. The OP is looking for a verb that means “to espouse heresy”
