Religion may deserve mockery, but he was arguing against mocking religious people. There's a big difference.
Yes I will mock religious people who use it to justify sexism, bigotry, homophobia and especially violence and oppressive laws. And I will mock people who use religion to bastardize science.
Don't expect me not to. I think worrying more about offending or getting offended than the actual harm religion does far too often, allows bad ideas to go on to bad acts.
