Is there a way to filter columns of a protected worksheet while still protecting the formulas in specific cells? I want to allow other users of the worksheet to be able to filter the data, but I do not want to allow them the ability to accidentally change the formulas.

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
When you protect the sheet make sure you check the "Use Autofilter" box

Did you apply the autofilter before protecting the sheet?

In that case you should be able to filter the data. Although you might not be able to use the autofilter sort.
