The limit should be inciting violence. If somebody wants to deny the holocaust, claim their prophet split the moon, deny evolution or say any other unbelievably silly thing, that's their business. Just don't call for violence.
See: Kaepernick outrage for Christians wanting to make speech less free.

I agree with the last part to an extent. Time and place is important for when people express these opinions. Someone denying evolution while having a beer with friends is whatever, but denying it while you're teaching a science class is one million percent unacceptable.
