No, it should not be a criminal offense.

If someone doesn't believe in the Holocaust, that is his or her problem, not everyone else's problem.

No. Freedom of Speech is designed to protect the extreme speech of society like holocaust deniers from the majority trying to silence extreme speech

Just make a comparison

In Germany and in Austria, Holocaust denial is a criminal offense.
In the USA, the denial that the cause of the Civil War was slavery is not a criminal offense.

Which hate groups are stronger? Neonazis in Germany and Austria or Neoconfederates in the USA?

Except slavery wasn't the only cause of the Civil War.

What about non-political things such as the moon landing? would that go under the same category as holocaust denial?

Millions of people didn't die in the moon landing.
