oThis morning I opened my email to see that I was granted an exemption from my employers requirement of the Covid-inspired mRNA injectable product.
I need to thank this community as I could not have done it on my own.
Over the last month or so I copied a piece from a post here, a segment from someone's comment there and was able to craft an assertion of religious objection that was well sourced, accurate, and most importantly - true to my sincerely held beliefs as a Christian.
I work at a University in the Northeast US which is extremely leftwing, some of our top administrators actually openly worked for the Biden/Harris campaign and all our leadership donates bigly to left wing extremist house/senate members.
So, I was fully expecting my application to be denied, but by the grace of God it was accepted and I will not be losing my job due to my un-injected status.
I am however aggressively looking for a new non-jabby job because f*ck them for attempting this in the first place.

EDIT: To answer some questions. My school had a deadline of the end of August so I submitted last week to give me some time to bail if denied.
I do not have a copy of what exactly was written as it went into an online form and I did not back it up onto a word doc or anything. It was brief and essentially I said that I was a Christian and taking an injection that has or uses fetal cell tissues goes against my sincerely held beliefs. I don't remember the link now but it can be searched for that shows which ones have it in the shot and which ones used fetal cells in the testing phase. I didn't quote any Bible verses or anything like that since I learned from videos I saw that it is not necessary, the only requirement you need is that you have a sincerely held religious belief so the less you say the better.
Is there any chance you can share the wording?
It was typed into a form that basically disappears when submitted to HR so I don't have the exact text that I used. I asserted my faith and anti-abortion stance which would be violated if I used an injection that had aborted fetal cells in it or if they were used in its testing, which all of them were. To note, I used the same statement at another school I work at, which was not granted, so I quit.
Thanks.
