@W&G, it is an old law and out dated I'm sure, but it does not work both ways. The city bylaw isn't old though and I'm not sure it doesn't violate the charter.

Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller) had a video where he is discussing some religious matters. He is an atheist, and he mentions after a show he did how someone came up to him and tried to convince him of their religion (sorry I may not be putting this in the best words), and how he appreciated that it showed how much that person cared, that he wanted to save his soul even though he was a stranger. Not that he was offended, not convinced, but appreciated the way the stranger was trying to save him. Again, I am not putting this in the best words.

Anyways I wasn't trying to suggest that someone should go out and "use blasphemous language", or that a religious man should preach to an atheist, only that these seem like things that shouldn't be illegal.
