members may bring wine or beer into *their* building for socials, and the state tells them they can't because $DEITY disapproves of alcohol, we have a First Amendment problem. If Moose Lodge or VFW members can decide to allow alcohol socials in *their* buildings, then so can Pastafarians, Lutherans, Jews, or Unitarians. Or atheists. The state has no business making a distinction, IMO. The same goes for your suggestion of mandatory dress codes; enforcing Baptist dress codes on pagans would be a 1stA violation. Baptists can set their rules, and Druids/Wiccans/Unitarians/whoever can set theirs.
