They took them too far and caused harm yes, but there are few atheists even who would have religion banned. I think religion is just a load of rubbish but you're still free to believe and say what you will. So cub porn should be allowed as the cub porn itself is not harmful, only if you take it too far.
A second important difference is that religion prescribes your actions, cub porn doesn't say you should go out and do it. The Koran does say you should kill infidels. There is a link between religion and violence, whereby religious crimes are committed because of what a religious book says. With cub porn and violent games there is no doctrine that says you must commit those acts and there is no proof that I have seen that using either of those media leads to doing the action in real life.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
