Some blogs offend their readers - and the readers are legitimately concerned about viewing inappropriate content.
Instructed in Blogger Help Forum: Get Help with an Issue, to report offensive blogs using the right complaint form, they may reply
Blogger wants to allow us to publish our blogs - and does not want us to publish offensive blogs - but also cannot needlessly interfere with blogs that are only offensive to a small reader population.
If you report a blog for offensive content - and the content does not actually violate Blogger / Google Content or TOS standards, Blogger / Google may be legally unable to properly react to your complaint.
Blogger / Google wants all Blogger blogs to follow standards - but they also do not want to needlessly interfere with blogs that do not violate their standards. Google Corporate Headquarters are in the USA - and the population of the USA believes in due process of law, and in innocence until proven guilty.
If you feel strongly that the content of a specific Blogger blog violates local standards, and is offensive in your country, your best recourse would be to get a court order from a judge in your country. Then submit your court order to Google.
Blogger can block specific blogs in specified countries, upon receipt of a properly supplied court order, by using country code aliasing. This will provide the blog owner proper treatment, in the world, in general - and people in your country can avoid viewing a culturally or religiously offensive blog.
