No he isn't. Or I guess more accurately he's not free of the consequences of doing what he wants.

Rules like this are put in place not for the cases where it's very close to the line, they're put in place for cases where it's clearly over the line and disruptive.
But as soon as you draw a line, you will always have cases like this. If they ignore it then the line moves. So they have to at least try to figure out what falls on which side of the line.
If the kid was being reasonable he would appreciate that and understand that it's a subjective call, not everyone will exactly agree, but the effort to make sure shirts like "Life is wasted if you're not white" (which is the same phrase, just substituting race for religion) aren't worn has merit, and that he can just wear all his other shirts which advocate for his chosen religion that he's allowed to wear.
