A CPS spokesman said: “The law is clear and we will never hesitate to prosecute cases where there is hostility towards members of a racial or religious group.”
But no hostility was shown, as far as we can tell, to any member of a racial or religious group.

He was protesting the religion, and they're prosecuting him for blasphemy.
