I work for an organization that only granted exemptions for religious objections too, so I jumped through their hoops thinking it was necessary (and I thus avoided the jab). However, a coworker I respect highly took the position that his religious exemption required no documentation, and the employer even asking for related paperwork imposed an unreasonable burden on his freedom of religion. He stayed employed just based on that. Wish I'd taken his approach too.

That sucks that you had to jump through hoops. I just told them, fuck you, fire me. They never did and i never even wore a mask to work.
I believe the relevant law around religious exemption only requires you to state that it is so, there is no burden of proof as far as I'm aware.

This will definitely be my baseline approach henceforward.
