Slander and libel laws protect individuals from being defamed unfairly. Nothing more.

Also, why does the First Amendment apply to flag burning, but not to public prayer? Is it because religious speech inspires hatred? And flag burning inspires what? Love, peace and grooviness?

You can pray in public. Go to any street corner and do it. Some people might look at you funny but you won't be arrested.
