Galatians 1:8
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!
Galatians 1:9
As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
NIV Bible
In light of this is preaching another gospel blaspheme against the Holy Spirit?

There are so many different "Christian" religions such as Catholic, Protestant, Mormon, Jehovah's Witness, etc. Does this mean that the gospel of some of these organizations is blaspheme also?

Very much so. If you were of Christ, why would you preach something other than what He has taught?
Only those that deny Him would preach a false doctrine.
Hence blasphemy.
I read in your addendum- yes I believe so. Due to the fact that in the bible, Jesus is God's Son- also God, however this has been misconstrued in another denomination that Jesus is the brother of satan. Nowhere in the bible does it state that satan was anything other than an angel. The bible clearly says, to not have any other book above it, others have.
Plus to deny the deity of Christ as some denominations have, clearly isn't biblical, you get my point.

The Bible was written by humans. I don't think that this is referring to a true mortal sin, but rather an attempt in history to convince people that something bad would happen to their souls if they listened or spoke another belief. Remember, at the time, the apostles and followers of Jesus were still very much threatened; after all, their leader had just been killed. Condemnation and arguing amongst the Christians was a very human thing. I highly doubt that God would be petty enough to argue against gospels preached by humans, anyway. In his infinite power, it's not like he had or has time to settle human disputes. No one has ever definitively proven that God was the one who preached this gospel; rather, this was a bunch of humans sharing their beliefs, and those beliefs happen to be some that are included in a series of historical texts. I think that mis-treating other people, or having malice in the heart are much closer to the spirit or essence of blasphemy than is preaching a different gospel.

If you don't REPENT, of course it would put you in danger of judgment.
