I think you are twisting their words. “Stop giving free pass” in this context means to criticize them and say it is wrong thing to do. “Be offended”. Not “use force of law”.
IMO, the force of law should come down when they try to force their beliefs onto everyone else- for example, abortion. technically, abortion restrictions are mostly religious laws... and are technically forbidden by the first amendment.
but generally, nobody should force another to believe different than they do. If reason and logic and gentle persuasion aren't enough... then that's okay. (incidentally, they're the ones using aggressive tactics, more often than not.)
