I'm guessing it's going to be very difficult for military members to get a religious exemption for the COVID vaccine if they did not already apply for religious exemptions to the many other vaccines that they're usually required to get before or during boot camp. We'll see.
People find religion and/or change their religious beliefs from time to time - prove me wrong.
I can't and won't.
But I'm not the one you have to convince. And as frustrating as this fact may be to people here, religious exemptions for something like this absolutely can and will come with a "guilty until proven innocent" situation.
I've used this example before: imagine that you want to argue that you should have the right to start a bonfire in your cubicle. For "religious" reasons.
You might be justified under religious freedom. You might even be telling the truth. But being allowed to start a fire in the office building is going to be a hard sell, because your religious beliefs put everyone around you in increased danger.
Maybe you can win that argument. But it's certainly not going to be a victory by default just because you start crowing about religious freedom.
As far as anyone mandating the vaccine is concerned, that's the argument. You pose a danger to the people around you (because no vaccine claims to be 100% effective).
And because of this, companies (and the military) are likely to be very suspicious about anyone having a sudden religious conversion right now, and are likely to call bullshit, and they're likely to make it a VERY difficult argument for recent "converts" to win. Especially if they have a provable history via Facebook or whatever of tirading against the COVID vaccine for non-religious reasons.
I'm not a lawyer. I just have watched enough of these cases fail and for the "religious" people to be mystified as to why the company didn't just roll over and let them have their figurative cubicle bonfire.
You're are probably right that there will be significant push back against those trying to claim the exemption but, why even offer it if people can;t claim to have it.
I think the secret is to first dye your hair purple, claim your new pronoun is "I'm gay hold my gun" and start screaming white supremacist if they deny your religious exemption. You'll get the vaccine exemption no problem.
Because they can claim to have it. There are religious exemptions offered for other things that people do take. But for someone to be enlisted who has never taken religious exemption to suddenly claim it for one single vaccine, and not anything else, will be likely tossed out.
Seems like another opportunity to pull the curtain on the hypocrisy that is rampant...
I can now prove I put people in danger by taking the Vax. Make them use truthful language and it dies on the vine.

To anyone facing this line of question this is your path forward. Did you know that the other vaccines you have accepted have been garnered through the use of dead babies? Likely not.
These ones have though and you do know it now. It is immoral for any good person to seek to personally profit by way of securing their own health by means that came about at expense of dead babies.
I agree with you. We lined up for many vaccines, not even thinking twice. I’d like to see how this plays out.
Which is why I'll most likely be opting for a medical exemption. I think religious grounds are going to be harder to prove by my mother has a genetic blood disorder so I think that'll be a stronger case for me.
Accurate assessment.
