Are there reasons that I shouldn't try this? I think it could be a real unifier, while also getting us back to the constitution if there is a corporate pushback on the freedom of religious expression. I'm reading the Bible, but currently I don't have any concrete connection as to how Christianity prohibits mask-wearing specifically.

You could argue that you believe in God's sovereignty and that this is a demonstration of your faith that God will take care of you. If you wear a mask it goes against your religious belief and you believe it will offend God as it would be a sign of a lack of faith.
If they pull the whole "well what about other ppl" crap. You can say that God loves and protects them, too, and it's up to Him what happens to each individual. That you aren't in charge of that.
ooh great me-and-mask-karen pre-made dialogue :)
I do see that argument as the main-course. The Lord gave us discernment to determine our own risks, and he must always have supreme authority, which is why all tyrannical governments seek to eliminate religion. I won't walk with fear if a sign and some dirtbag on TV says I should, but THE LORD doesn't!
Replying to my own comment to add: God says some variation of Do Not Fear/Be not afraid, etc. over a hundred times throughout the Bible. Wearing a mask is showing that you are walking in fear. You walk in faith. My church handed out signs that say faith>fear. We have in person church, and I see less than 10 ppl wearing masks out of the hundred that go to my service.
