The peyote case was BOTH nation and ceremony. This is a little different. We allow witchcraft but don't allow hanging witches.

A Church is a Church when God says it is. An established religious denomination is established when the government concludes it has been around in the nation for a long time in substantial numbers. One hundred thirty guys off the block cannot claim free exercise of religion because they decide to venerate something previously illegal ( although they may claim freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of association, and so forth, which would be far less destructive to the social fabric).
