Atheist blogger charged for "inciting hatred" for playing pokemon go in church

Quote:On Saturday, Russian officials announced that atheist vlogger Ruslan Sokolovsky has been detained for two months for “inciting hatred” and “insulting religious feelings” after posting a video of himself playing Pokémon Go inside a historic cathedral. He reportedly faces up to five years in jail if convicted.

Though personally I don't like pokemon go, but still I fail to see how it can "incite hatred" (unless you are catching a super ultra rare pokemon).
I guess, there's a biblical passage somewhere, which if interpreted "correctly" decrees mobile gaming as blasphemous?
