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

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

Isn't it to "commit" a heresy? Cause heresy was somewhat of a crime or smth? Saying something heretical is also a heresy I think.
-
Yeah but without context, it is ambiguous. You can also commit crimes, commit to marriage or a goal...

"Schism" feels pretty applicable. (It's a core tenet of the Church of the SubGenius: "A SubGenius MUST schism.")
-
Can it be used as a verb? I think it's only a noun.

Do NOT go with "blaspheme." Blasphemy and heresy aren't the same thing. Blasphemy = insulting God, heresy = espousing condemned beliefs about God. Heresy requires a truth-claim, blasphemy is phatic.

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.
