TBH I'd be totally OK if we de-normalized the passive acceptance of street preachers hurling insults at those who pass by. It feels like they're given a pass because of their "religious" status, while someone acting basically the same but without the religious context stands a good chance of catching a disorderly conduct / disturbing the peace citation.
