Original Note:
The post and the headline both misrepresent the law. Prayer and reading the bible are not criminalized. C-367 removes "religious belief" as a defense against a hate speech conviction. To be convicted under the law, one must have committed hate speech in the first place. https://www.parl.ca/documentviewer/en/44-1/bill/C-367/first-reading https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/c-46/section-319.html
