He didn't say he criticized the other fellow's religion. He brought up a fact which happened to contradict the teaching's of that other guy's religion.

It sounds like everything went down just fine: the first person's intent wasn't to attack religion, the second guy said let's drop the subject, and the first guy did. No hate speech at all.

I think, or hope, he was being sarcastic. Religion is a belief system and personal opinion. While you have the freedom to hold whatever beliefs you want, I am free to criticize and ridicule your beliefs if I think they're inconsistent or ridiculous.
