Interesting, and semi related - as of 2009 Nazis are recognized group which can suffer from hate crimes in Toronto. So don't yell at Adolf for wearing Swastika; you'll be violating his human rights (as interpreted by the Human Rights tribunal). Citation: http://www.mytowncrier.ca/story-15821-1-1.html

Freedom of Religion - which primarily supports minority groups such as us Atheists - originally meant that the government couldn't force you to adopt different beliefs, and that believing in X was not valid grounds for assault. It never meant that you had to hire people regardless of their beliefs.

Descrimination can be morally disturbing at times, but not all immoral behaviour necessarily needs to be legislated.
