"Rubin probably would have better off arguing he was giving the marijuana away and not selling it. The sale and potential profit therein is why they are scared."

Agreed. I think if he wanted to make some money from this while steering clear of these kinds of prosecutions he should've just come up with some sort of tithing system with the MJ sacrament being something that was free. In this way he could have probably avoided the charges that were laid on him. Though, I don't think he'd have gotten away completely unscathed.

Freedom of religion is another one of those freedoms which isn't entirely real. If it was, Muslims in the US would be able to marry 4 women, Hindus have no limits, and gay Anglicans could get married. I think when the 'founding fathers' wrote that into the constitution, they were trying to make peace between the Christian factions, not necessarily allow religious freedom to Natives or anyone else.
