No one is violating your freedom to practice your religion. You are allowed and even encouraged to pray to and worship whatever deity floats your boat. If you want to light the sabbath candles on Friday at sundown, have at it. No one will try and stop you. If you wish to kneel before a carving of some white guy with long flowing hair hanging by his bloodied hands and feet from a wooden cross, go for it. You won't see the Religion Police at your door.
You just can't do it inside a church, or in close proximity to anyone else.
My parents' synagogue has streaming services, and everyone is welcome to worship - from their homes - following the liturgy and prayers and enjoy the sermon and sing with the cantor and pray the kaddush just like they always do. They're just doing it from the comfort of their own homes instead of in a pew in the chapel.
The right to congregate - yup. At a 6' distance from everyone else, you absolutely may do that in public spaces, in Florida. Go for it, no one will try and stop you.
