Thus following your example, claiming the right to free speech (an
intellectual PoV) by advocating the divinity of the Great Pumpkin ( a
social PoV) is immoral. Is this making sense or am I missing something?

Unless I misunderstand, by this reasoning it'd be immoral for me to
stand on a street corner and yell about how Germany is going to
dominate the World Cup this year. :-)
I am in agreement that "free speech" entails responsibilities ("with
great power..."). And for that reason I think that demanding evidence
before "creationism" is taught in our schools as an equally valid
alternative to "archeology" is moral. The same way Goedel couldn't
just crash math conferences with posters reading "Incompleteness
NOW!", he had to actually put forth reasonable justification for this
theories. But in other venues, I prefer just tuning these people out.
If Goedel wanted to stand on a street corner yelling "We are all
Incomplete!", I'd have little reason to feel compelled to stop him.
