you define your religion. nobody has a right to say you don't believe in your own beliefs.

*An employer CAN question the employee’s belief to find out if they are SINCERE, meaning they’re not merely using religion as a basis for their request just to avoid the COVID shots. The employer can ask WHAT they believe, WHY they believe it, HOW it affects their life decisions and their decision regarding the COVID shots. An employer CANNOT question the validity or correctness of religious beliefs. The employer CANNOT ask why the employee is interpreting a Scripture in a particular way, or why the employee objects to the COVID shot when others in their church or religious order either have no position or even support the shots.

I just received the approval for my religious accommodation request today. But they did say that "The final details of your accommodation will be determined based on your work location and/or customer requirements." So basically my company has to work with the contracting officer on the government side to determine if my request for accommodation can also be accepted on the customer (government) site. We are currently working from home, and have been ever since the original shutdown, and from everything I've been hearing is the telework will most likely be permanent. So I'm hoping that the government side doesn't refuse to let me work on the contract. But either way, I'm not getting fired from my company for the time being.
ETA: I based my religious accommodation request on the following three issues:
1. It is my firm religious belief that God commands us to go to Him in prayer when we face major decisions in life, and he is faithful to lead us in those decisions. And I have been in much prayer over these vaccines, and it is my firm belief that God has led me not to take them.
2. It is my firm religious belief that my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and that it has been bought with the ultimate price, His sacrifice. And if I inject anything into His temple that I truly believe He is leading not to do, then I am defiling His temple.
3. I believe that every child of God will have to stand at the judgement seat of Christ to give an account of the things done in the body. And that if I defile His temple by injecting something that he has clearly led me not to take after months of praying about it, then that is sin in God's sight and I'll be held accountable for it.
I left out the whole abortion angle. But everything I stated in my religious request is 100% my true religious beliefs, so my conscious is clear on it. I didn't use the abortion angle because while I am adamantly opposed to abortions, apparently they use the same fetal cell line test that was used in the mRNA testing on everything from Tums to Ibuprofen. So I couldn't say with a clear conscious that I'd never take any drug that used fetal cell line testing done on it.

Thank you. Yes we hold sincere Christian objections to the vaccine like I said in above posts.
I also just learned about the fetal cell use in the development of every day medicines. Pretty mind blowing.

I based my request for religious exemption on my belief that the pandemic is God's judgement for sin. The vaccine is an attempt to circumvent His judgement and is in that respect sinful. As supporting evidence I listed verses from the Bible in which pestilence was used by God as judgement for sin and the fact that I did not seek medical treatment for the virus when I had it but prayed for the forgiveness of sin instead.

It definitely blew my mind. Basically our whole medication industry is based off that testing. May God have mercy on us.

It’s sad we have to even go this route. I hate our government
Posted on 11/8/21 at 5:38 pm to TankBoys32
the constitution only applies to liberals and illegals

If the Constitution, can’t protect us, state laws, Nuremberg Court rulings, and so forth, you might wanna do a religious exemption, as that is all you have.
This is sick what is happening. It’s mind boggling how they are getting away with this. And I don’t care what Fox News conservatives say, no freaking corporation should have the authority to force you to take a vax when there is no reason for it. Everyone knows the risks. Straight up discrimination and I don’t care what section or code they whip out.

Not sure what you do for a job but I hope you don’t think it won’t affect you, they will figure out a way to screw everyone
Posted on 11/8/21 at 7:07 pm to Walkerdog14
Unfortunately I think you’re right. Eventually we’re gonna have to push back if and when the courts fail us.

Mind posting one more time haha

I filed with my company for a religious exemption, waiting to hear back on it.
I will say this, be very careful how you word it. My company gave a list of questions they wanted detailed answers to in an attempt to pick your stance apart and invalidate it.
The main argument is the use of aborted fetuses, which was also used in the development of far more household drugs than most realize. Also most vaccinations.
You have to word it that since you became a Christian that any medication developed from an aborted fetus has been removed from your home. Don't admit to taking the flu vaccine either.
Honestly, it really pissed me off how my company worded it all in a pathetic attempt to question the authenticity of my faith. I have updated my resume and sent it to recruiters.
