Not legally, Freedom of Religion has legal restrictions just as the legal restrictions on speech you acknowledged.
SCOTUS has Entire body of case law brought by "churches" religious worship centers around cannabis and/or hallucinogens - in other words not absolute.
Regarding the absolute free speech folks you identified, I typically find they are they are unlikely to have ever read a single 1st Amendment SCOTUS opinion, generally rejecting the idea they could ever learn anything from robe wearing traditionalist. The real irony is I also find these absolutists also generally start backing down from their opinions once they understand the kind of speech cases SCOTUS hears such as child pornography.
