Citing the bible may be an allowed form of slander, but just being religious doesn't protect you from consequences in general. Extremely harmful lies about science or medicine have nothing to do with religion. That seems to be more or less the thought process of the supreme court.

@drizzlebactin Yeah, it's very mild here in comparison. Sure, the two parties who would like to do hate speech here are like boohoo, the laws are unfair, but I don't think they'll be able to do much about it beyond that.
