They want to be free to be as bigoted as they want to be, because they believe their religion demands it. They want freedom to hate anyone who doesn't believe as they do, doesn't look the same as they do, and doesn't think anyone should dictate their behavior. Freedom of Religion is only for right-wing Christians. That's what they mean by it.
