I was let go from an adjunct online teaching job at a community college in my state because I was denied the religious exemption that I applied for. The HR Dept. there is very smug. So I filed a complaint with the State Civil Liberties Dept back in Jan 2022. The school actually hired a lawyer to deal with it (probably cost them more than my semester pay). I had to file so much paperwork for months and have not heard anything back from them since Dec 2022. Well, today I received notice from them that I have been found to have "Probable Cause" and they are scheduling a "Conciliation." I have no idea what that will do for me (someone else has my job) but it feels good to at least hear that I got this far. It was so much paperwork that I wanted to give up. Looking over all that paperwork, I cannot believe I did it.

They assume that your religious beliefs are subject to their approval.
Title VII of the Civil Rights act states a person claims their exemption from the employer....they do not get to decide to accept it or not. Title VII only gives employers one exception: they can choose to deny your exemption IF they can prove it would put undue hardship on the business.
According to my lawyer two years ago, this is what every major corp has been doing, to force people to follow their vax mandates, claiming undue hardship.
And of course, the CDC, EEOC, and OSHA all colluded to make the vax mandates "legal" and try to skirt around Title VII
