RE: Why doesn't the United States follow it's own rules when it comes to the 1st amendmen

But your First Amendment doesn't prohibit religious groups from influencing legislation. It forbids the establishment of a State religion and government providing preferential treatment of one religion over another.
Granted, there are grey areas. But if religious groups weren't allowed to lobby legislators, you'd have violations of 1) the free exercise clause and 2) the free speech clause.
