I dont know about your country but mine grants the freedom of religion by constitution. Forcing citizens to be atheist or not protecting peoples right to life their religion within in the constraints of the law is no better than ordering people to adhere to a specific religion.

That's not what he was saying. Everyone should have right to worship whatever spaghetti monster they wish, but it's still within my rights to mock it. As it's my right to be allowed to mock anything else.

And it is perfectly legal to mock it. But it isnt legal to apply and incite violence by burning symbols of a minority group in public. Because that is and will be the first step in an escalation towards murdering people, like was saw time and time again in human history, in its worst form in Nazi Germany, where book burnings were very popular.

Burning a "holy" book is essentially mockery, in a same way as throwing some bacon between it's pages. The purpose is to mock the religion and the zealots (specifically those, since modest ones wouldn't give a flying fuck)

"It s just a prank bro" he said at the crying mother and children that sat in front of the house burning.

Freedom of religion is not a special super-right that lifts every rule of every religion to the status of a protected right though.
