It's their granted freedom to speak about religion in the way they want. I'm a Christian, but I don't get worked up when someone says that the Holy Bible is a book of fairytales; that's their opinion. They are entitled to their opinion, and I have to respect that no matter how much I disagree with it. It's the people like you that make us, the religious ones, seem like we're intolerant bigots. We shouldn't go around accusing people and persecuting them because they said something we disagree with; that goes against the religion. We're supposed to be a peaceful, tolerant bunch, not that crazed religious fanatic on the street calling everyone sinners and trying to condemn them to Hell. We're supposed to help people understand the religion, not drive them away. The fact that you think religion should be exempt from criticism, however, disappoints me. God is a loving god, he doesn't just send people to Hell because they mocked him once. He gives them a chance. Maybe you should learn from that next time instead of trying to persecute everyone that mocks your religion.
