I was afraid of that. It is a slippery slope indeed limiting free speech. I don't think religious feelings should be protected any more than Republican, Democrat, or Nazi feelings should be protected.

Sectarianism is religious behavior and should only be prohibited when it comes in the form of discrimination and then only when governmental, or as already covered by anti-discrimination laws.
Prohibiting propaganda would eliminate much religious expression not protect it. --- No, I would prohibit propaganda because there's no good way to define it.
What do you mean by "propping up of the 'intelligentsia'?" Nothing healthy for free speech is my suspicion. Limiting the rights of educated people to speak is what I'm afraid you mean.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
