54. Indeed. Respecting freedom of expression regarding religion is paramount.

Burning paper against city ordinance is a minor offense for which the proper remedy is a citation.

Each American is entitled to love or hate any or all religions, and entitled to express that love or hate. Burning a book is an expression of disdain and disapproval. If one wants to buy and burn any book, it is his or her right in our country, provided there is no restriction on making a fire. For example, they could shred the book in a shredder instead of burning it, and that would be protected symbolic speech.
