"For example, let's say there's a religious group that believes in human sacrifice. Should we outlaw this group? Pass a law forbidding human sacrifice? No and no. Either law would violate the First Amendment."

We could pass laws banning both. Neither law would violate the First.

Murder is covered already -- but just to be sure -- we could pass additional laws banned both cultic murder and cults that advocate such.
