Society has every right to determine whether or not a person can express hatred for Allah, or God, or Jesus, . . ., and if it determines that a person doesn’t, to shun, riducule, mock and not invite to parties persons who go against its determination.

The Federal government due to the 1st Amendment, and the government of the several states due to the 1st and 14th Amendments have no right whatsoever to criminalize behavior on the basis of whether or not it comports with society’s favored stance vis-a-via one religion or another, or religion in general.

Okie dokie...I think I understand you. You are saying that individuals grouped together, collectively known as "society", have a right to determine whether or not a person has made some sort of societal error by outing that person in accordance with their opinion/belief that the afore mentioned collected group known as "society" finds offensive and can then respond to or not respond to that individual...as long as their response doesn't carry the weight of the legal system or any other government, state or federal, sanctioned body. Am I right?

And further, that the government doesn't, as stipulated by the Constitution, have a right or legal precedent to sanction that individual? If that is what you are stating, the I'm pretty sure we agree...
