People can abandon their religion at any time, but we still protect peoples' religious rights, no matter how odious their beliefs.

No we don't, not when the religion (badly interpreted) promotes murder, ie radical islam.
Are you pretending that nazism can be interpreted charitably?
I can kill someone and claim it's for buddhism or my local sports team, but there is no basis for either of those promoting murder.
Nazism not so.
The penalty for leaving Islam (apostasy) is death. Many muslims believe it (like, the majority of the populations of places like Pakistan and Egypt). I guarantee you that you could not, consistent with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, deny service to Muslims merely for expressing the belief that apostates should be put to death.
I actually agree with you, and Christianity has the same problem in writing.
But the difference (or similarity?) is that only a diminishingly tiny fraction of practitioners for either religion believes in stoning.
If I asked you to give me a few key points of the tenets of Islam and Christianity, would any be about killing, eradicating, or persecution of people?
If I asked you to do the same for Nazism? Are you going to pretend it's comparable?
