blasphemousness

/ˈbɫæsfəməsnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being blasphemous.

Word Origin From Greek blaptein 'to harm, hinder' and phēmē 'speech, saying' — blasphemy is literally 'harmful speech,' originally speech that defames the divine. The -ous makes it an adjective, and -ness a noun. The same phēmē root gives us fame, infamous, and euphemism (good speech).
