I'm atheist but I don't think this can stand up in court. I can't make the "Church of Punch a Nazi." and get free reign to punch Nazis. The law considers it assault despite my religion.
Possession of peyote is a crime, yet the courts have ruled that the 1st amendment overrides that for certain Native American tribes that use it in their rituals.
So far it's lasted years in New Mexico with the Satanic Temple's "Samuel Alito's Mom's Abortion Clinic". If NM can't shut it down, I don't know that it can be done.
Edit: I had the wrong state
The Samuel Alito's Mom's Satanic Abortion Clinic is in New Mexico, where abortion is legal at all stages of pregnancy. The new one, the Right to Your Life Clinic is in Virginia, where it is legal in the first two trimesters.
Proof the system is broken. I’m a devout “Kneecap-the-MAGAS” follower, and they’re trying to oppress me by taking away my religious freedoms!
