If someone insults you, then you can report the message as "Abusive" (using the red flag on the bottom-right of the message). You can also post a link to the message in this forum to ask other members to review and report it. If enough people decide that it's not acceptable, the message will be removed.

If the user continues to exhibit abusive behaviour, then either their account will be banned, or a moderator will step in and tell them to play nice.

However, a claim of "religious harassment" is something which would be taken far more seriously than a personal insult. Announcing that someone is insulting your religion when they are merely insulting you is a good way to annoy the moderators, and ensure that any future complaints are not taken seriously. I would refer you to Aesop's fable, The Boy who Cried Wolf[^].
