Actually it was founded on the idea of everyone being able to practice their religion as they see fit.
Yes, but the founding fathers were Christian. Other religions that don't break the laws of the land are welcome, but those who kill animals and people for their ceremonies, as Satanists do, or kill others for changing their religion, as Muslims do, cannot practice the full extent of their religions.
This is a Christian country, built on Christian principles. Have its leaders been faultless?...no. But if you don't like it, go and live somewhere else. You want Sharia law? - feel free to join ISIS. You enjoy serving Satan? Find a country based on Satanic principles... feel free to join ISIS.
?????? This country was founded on the principle that the government is not religion's enforcement arm, nor does any religion set policy for the government.
An American is free to practice whatever religion they please, or no religion at all.

Did the rite cited by the OP include animal sacrifice? I didn't see it mentioned.
So discussion over. They have every right to practice their beliefs all the same as anyone and will be held accountable for any laws they break just like anyone else.
People have killed under the label of being a Christian also.
But isn't that what happens when someone goes into a church and is fooled into believing in a false prophet? Millions of people do that every day and I see no complaints from you.
If we have the freedom of religion to openly believe in and pray to a false messiah, even granting that blasphemous belief precedence in our nation with public holidays in its name, then why should be stop Satanists? Equal footing, as it were.

what if my religion says I cannot pay taxes?
I don't see a conscientious objector box on

Yep, the moment one of those happens, you can charge the perps with the appropriate crimes & the authorities will take them into custody & bind them over for charging & trial - cruelty to animals, assault, kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder, murder, etc. The problem here is that you're looking for prior restraint of their ritual, whatever that may be. If the ritual entails any of these illegal acts, then you have a case - although it's weak - it would be conspiracy to commit, etc.
You still have a better case if the attack or whatever it is goes forward, @ least to the point that intent is established. You can't charge people on speculation only.
