What are the 5 freedoms guaranteed by the 1st Amendment.

Freedom of Speech. Freedom of the press. Freedom of peaceable assembly. Freedom from the establishment of a religion. Freedom to practice one's religion. Freedom to petition the government for redress of grievances.

That's six, not five, and I'm right.

Your question is posed wrongly.

Try reading the Constitution some time.

Out of curiosity, are you a prick all the time, or just when you can hide behind the anonymity of the internet?

“That’s six, not five, and I’m right.”

Not really. It’s a stretch to count the non-establishment clause as “freedom from the establishment of a religion.” That’s like counting article IV, section IV as the freedom to have a Republican government section, or article III, section I as the freedom to have a supreme court section.
