Nope. Just because it's a religious practice doesn't give it an exemption from the law. Why, you might argue that because your religion believes that men should marry many underage women, that you should be free to do so. As the FLDS learned, the good people of Texas were not going to put up with that kind of lawbreaking.
As for the snakes, Hamblin treated them poorly:

Matt Cameron, a spokesman for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, said its officers acted correctly in raiding Hamblin’s church. Most of the snakes were in ill health when seized, said Cameron. More than half died since the raid, and the rest are being cared for at a Knoxville zoo.
