Well, Should notorious groups such as the American Nazi party, the Klu Klux Klan, godhatesfags, etc. be protected by the first amendment even though they are the scum of ignorance?
It depends on what we mean by protection. Beyond that, they deserve the same protection anyone else gets.
If you suppress any type of speech, activity or idea, it goes into hiding. It's better to have it out in the open where you can keep track of it.
For example, which is better:Justice Brandeis said, "The best disinfectant is sunshine." The way I say it, "It's best to keep your cockroaches on top of the linoleum."
- A. People who deny the Holocaust have a convention in Berlin. Every time they step out of the hotel they are accosted by family members of Holocaust victims.
- B. It's illegal to deny the Holocaust in Berlin, so people who deny the Holocaust have a convention in Tehran. Every time they step out of the hotel they are cheered by people who want the whole world to deny the Holocaust.

The first amendment in America is: "Freedom of Speech." Should these hate groups be protected by this constitusional right?
When you start suppressing speech, it's difficult to decide where to stop. How exactly do we define "hate speech" anyway? Many cults of the Abrahamic religions preach intolerance of other religions, or people who have no religion, or even rival cults of their own religion. This intolerance, as we see every day in the headlines, often borders on hatred and just as often patently qualifies as hatred.Many of them are hiding and are not known. If you destroy their messages of hate, you destroy their propaganda that is messaging other people. It is best to crush and pulverize those cockroaches where they stand!

Do we get to outlaw these religions too?

all i am going to say is hate is not a right
Banning hate groups will not lead to banning religion. It does not work that way, you seemed to have reached what is called a "Grey beard" Fallibilty. What happens doesn't always trigger a domino effect.
They may be hateful dispicable Americans, but they are still Americans. And in this country, that gives you rights.
