What about my religious freedom to not give a shit about their primitive superstitions and what land they consider sacred?

No, it does work that way. My freedom of religion means I don't have to respect their bullshit superstitions. They can declare arbitrary pieces of land "sacred" all day long, but they have no right to stop the rest of us from building roads and pipelines right through it anyway.
