Does anyone else think that this is an attack on free speech and free expression?
I personally think it is. Having a law to protect religion is the first step towards wider censorship IMO

understanding it has the nature of a mirage,

Firstly it's worth noting that a UN resolution is not a law. Not even close.
Secondly, we should look at the actual clauses rather than biased commentaries.
In the US there is a great fear of the UN, the biggest and most useless toothless tiger ever. The giant chair with a broken leg in front of its headquaters is sadly symbolic.
