It's a general statement so I'm taking it in its general form. If there are supposed to be specific qualifiers, I'm all ears.
Failure to address the distinction, for instance, between letting someone believe (a) a guy with a beard will give them nice things at death versus believing (b) gay people are morally wrong for being gay because beard guy said so, is a classic example of how religious bigots use the concept of "religious freedom" or "acts versus beliefs" rhetoric to keep their hatred blossoming. Some beliefs do deserve to be mocked, ridiculed, and browbeaten out of people.
