As absolutes? No, I don't.

Heck, just absolute freedom of speech and absolute freedom of religion cannot co-exist. Absolute freedom of speech includes the right to blasphemy, while absolute freedom of religion would allow the religious to act on beliefs that blasphemy must be punished by death. (Of course, killing blasphemers would kind of infringe on their right to free speech.)

Absolute freedom of religion cannot co-exist with any other rights, because anyone can make up a religion that tells them anything they want to do is okay.
