PLEASE READ THIS
Absolutely DO NOT TRY FOR A MEDICAL EXEMPTION
You will get denied.
I recently met with a lawyer who specifically said not to submit a medical AND religious exemption.
ONLY SUBMIT A RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION
Anyone who tells you differently is completely uninformed.
Religion is considered a “protected class” under the civil rights act. Medical stuff is not.
So what you need to do is write a religious exemption in your own words—one that is SINCERE.
Employers can reject your letter if they discover you copy&pasted from a template.
IT MUST BE SINCERE
Please head this warning. My mother in law was rejected because she submitted a medical exemption before her religious exemption. She was fired.
Feel free to include scripture and sections of laws that pertain to your letter.
A good source for some scriptures to use is The Warrenton Declaration on Medical Mandates, Biblical Ethics, & Authority https://warrentondeclaration.com/ The site provides rationale and scriptures to back it up. I have submitted my religious accommodation for the Air National Guard. For now, my civilian employer has not mentioned anything about it yet.
