You're acting as if this one thing this man said is a wide prohibition of free speech and worship when it's not. It is a narrow avenue that not many cross, but crossing it leads to probable punishment. That is not taking away someone's ability to practice free speech and worship.

No one has the right to threaten violence as at that point your threatening someone's right to life. It doesn't say much for your argument if you're comparing saying "god is great" to threatening someone with harm. 

I'm sorry if you believe I am speaking in hyperbole, but whether or not I am, this is a violation of free speech and free practice of religion.
