Definitely not a hate crime. By placing themselves in a public situation and inviting the public to attend, they can hardly call it a hate crime. Now, they may have some grounds for civil action (don't know for sure on that) but that's about as far as it goes...and BTW, I am sympathetic with the Wiccan worshippers, those so-called "Christians" were way out of line.

If the Christians had broken into a privately held ceremony and tried the same thing, that would be a different circumstance.
