It’s already been tried with Secular Humanism.

The courts have ruled that it IS a religion for purposes of free exercise (conscientious objection)

but is not a religion when faced with the establishment test.

"Separation of church and state" only applies to traditional, Christian churches. The ones with crosses on top.

There's no separation of Mosque and state, or coven and state. Environmental religions would get freedom of expression, but no prohibition of establishment. According to liberals, the establishment clause only applies to Christians, and possibly Jews sometimes.
