In this country, you cannot fire people for being black, female, or jewish.
(That is, race, sex, or religion).
Keep in mind that religious protections in the civil rights act were placed there by and for Jews. Christians did not need any special protection since they were already 90%+ of the population.
Religious exemptions are sound if claimed properly. The trick is you can't let it be framed as a request the company can approve or deny. Rather, it's a declaration, such as a race or sex, which the company has no choice in the matter. Many structures are already built into the law and the HR processes to tiptoe around these protected classes and avoid any legal liability from firing someone due to these specific protected reasons.
