The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment doesn't trump the 1st amendment.
Of course it doesn't. Mostly because anti-discrimination laws do not keep anyone from practicing their religion. There has not been a single case where anyone has challenged this in court and has been able to satisfy the court that it has created an undue burden to their freedom of religion.
FWIW, I disagree with federal statutes in regards to anti-discrimination, especially for companies not necessarily engaged in interstate commerce.
