There is supreme court precedent that the practical laws of the land have precedent over religious affairs. Fringe fundamentalist Mormons don't sue that the anti-polygamy laws are trampling their religious freedoms, for one, but more importantly for jurisprudence, there was this native american group in Oregon that smoked peyote as part of their religious rituals which did not exempt them from the Controlled Substances Act.

My guess is the court understands the difference between a law intended to shackle religious groups and a law which happens to irk some religions in pursuit of some different aim.
