This is a facet of the British policy that does not recognize truth as being a defense for libel. Even though you speak truth about some one or some thing, they can still take you to court for, I assume, your intentions.
But that or something like it seems baked into our hate crime legislation, too, where ‘intent’ can be divined and parceled out depending on race.
Claims about the divinity of Christ are not susceptible to truth claims in court. "You were at Harrod's on July 12!" "I was not!" It's either true or it's not.
It makes much more sense, legally, to treat these as opinion statements.
"I think Taylor Swift is a great artist." "I prefer Katy Perry." "Okay, have a drink?" "Sure!"
"I think Jesus is God." "I don't agree." "Okay, have a nice day."
It's your intentions for doing something that MAKES it a 'hate crime'.
