Only the blasfemy against the Holy Spirit, which is calling His works as being works of the devil. In simple terms:
Since the purpose of the Holy Spirit is attracting people to God,
if people call those actions evil they are rejecting God; if one rejects God how can his/her sins be forgiven?
Rejecting God and maintain that descision until your death is the sin that can not be forgiven. All other crimes/sins have solution if the criminal/sinner follows Gods instructions given by Jesus.

I don't believe in gods or the concept of a sin, but I think I can chime in on what is considered "unforgivable" today.
I think there are crimes that society cannot and should not forgive. Usually, these include violence against the groups that make up society, such as suicide bombing, serial killing, mass murder, war mongering, and genocide.
All of those crimes against humanity are horrible for obvious reasons, but there is no good reason to believe that holding a different philosophy on the existence of a god (I deny the holy spirit, etc) is somehow worse, or even bad. That's just a way to stop free debate about religion.

I think that if you truly mean it, God forgives any sin or crime. I think that as long and you realize and self-reflect on the fact that you did something which degraded your morals and values, or something that you shouldn't have done, or a sin, etc., He will forgive you. Check with a religious leader of your religion though.

Jesus said that all sins would be forgiven except one: blasphemy against the holy spirit, which is the total rejection of God's efforts to allow his spirit to work in your life. This "sin" is not certain act or acts that you can do, but rather, a dominant disobedient attitude. Matthew 12:31-33

God does not forgive any sin that is continuing
(Hebrews 10:26) . . .For if we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left. . .

God forgives all sins that are repented. The only sin that cannot be forgiven is total rejection of the Holy Spirit from your life (what Scripture calls "blaspheming the Holy Spirit"). The Holy Spirit is the source of the grace of repentence. It is He Who attempts to draw us back to the true path when we go astray. Therefore if we reject Him from our lives, we cannot repent and therefore cannot be forgiven.

According to the BuyBull the one he won't forgive is blaspheming/denying the Holy Spirit. I deny the Holy Spirit.

There is only one thing God will not forgive and that is denying his existence.
