If I want religion, I know where to look for it - and if for example I don't want it, then why should it be forced on me in media and public spaces?

Religion folks, is open to interpretation. And how YOU interpret the message you find in your religion says a lot about YOU.

We are told that religion says: 'God gave us brains' - and then they also quickly add: '-but God doesn't want us to use them'. Ridiculous.

I can't imagine why a media company views a law preventing the commission of hate speech as a restriction on media freedom, but it is probably similar to how some religious folk view hate speech as being essential to religious freedom.

Being the commander of a Ruminarii war vessel meant that he had risen to the rank by means of assassination and ruthlessness and was therefore implicitly distrusted by the Tidhii Mah’k’hai (Naval Command, that is The Queen Of Suth Herself.) He was expected to mete out, in generous portions, brutality to conquered subjects and to act swiftly and mercilessly in dealing with alien encounters. In short, he was expected to be a bad example.

Those who meet objections to their forcing their religion on others with cries of 'Show respect!' clearly have no grasp of irony.
