I spoke with an attorney and they advised me not to state my reason for the religious exemption just that I have one.

Your lawyer is accurate. Mine is asking people all sorts of shit.
The more questions you answer the more likely you get to a rejection.
You don't even have to say what your religion is.
Religious exemption is not a request, it's a statement of your rights.
That’s exactly what the attorney told me.
In addition it might be wise to counter with something similar to
"..are you asking me questions about my medical history, are you sure you want to do that?..."
"...are you sure you are allowed to ask me that question? I thought prying into a persons medical history was not legal..."
"You aren't my doctor..."
"Um, I'm not comfortable with you asking me about medications or any of my medical history, maybe we should take this to HR..."
Document every encounter where they probe with possible medical questions. Share with lawyer.
Exactly this. They will take what ever you give them, pass it to their legal team and see if they deny you if it will be upheld in court.
The more details you give (that they are not entitled to) the the bigger the chance they find a way to turn you down.
Tbis is especially powerful.in at willemployment states where religion is normally a "protected class".
I don't even think you have to answer anything anyway.
I submitted mine blank, and they said, "Sorry, we can't approve this because you have to explain in more detail."
I just talked to a lawyer and I am depressed. He literally told me to get the vaccine. I asked him the crime, if it was , to fake a vax card under duress ? Crickets. “ It’s probably a crime. “. He told me there was an FDA approved vaccine, we were almost arguing for a half hour.
