Why can't the USA have hate crimes like other developed countries do?

@ Liberal Atheist Feminist,
It is not illegal to wear a crucifix in public places in the UK. The cases you may have heard about were only in relation to employers getting the backing of the courts in jobs with a uniform & strict dress code. Some of these cases were hospitals where they have a no jewellery rule for everyone. Employees in most jobs can wear jewellery if they want to, including a crucifix, and away from work everyone can wear whatever they want.

@Inverted,
UK law is innocent until proven guilty, the same as in the US. Scottish law allows for 3 verdicts, guilty, not proven, or not guilty, in the rest of the UK, just either guilty or not guilty, and it is up to the prosecution to prove guilt.
French law is a bit different, so might be a bit nearer to a defendant having to prove innocence, but you'd need to look up the details.
