My bottom line: no religion police. Ever.

Do Rastafarians have a constitutional right to smoke marijuana?

Do the FLDS have a constitutional right to practice polygamy?

Do Moloch worshipers have a right to perform human sacrifice?

They do in Colorado

Do the FLDS have a constitutional right to practice polygamy?

If Homosexual marriage is legal, then there is no logical reason why polygamy should not be legal

Do Moloch worshipers have a right to perform human sacrifice?

As a nation we have sacrificed over 50 million children to Moloch under the auspices of the Roe v Wade decision. (The answer to Libertarian prayers, BTW)

First, I will forego pointing out in depth that you are acknowledging the supremacy of Christianity over other religions. Sufficient that it just be pointed out.

Next, can a moral people take life without due process of law and only when a capital offense has been committed? Of course not, so we see the law of life in conflict with the law of free exercise. I'm not real sure why Rastafarians should be denied marijuana in their worship, except if it ever intersects with the law of life. I can think of all kinds of social and behavioral ills that come from a polygamous society, and I see the demise of our nuclear family based society as fraught with danger and subjugation for future generations, but I do not believe that religion police are better than polygamy. Evidence is now showing us that a homosexual culture apparently leads directly to religion police, and I can see how a polygamous culture might as well, but I'll have to think on it a bit more. My reading about the early Mormons is that they were very controlled by their theocracy, and that suggests polygamy in some way forcing the rise of religion police.
