Ask the HR people where they received their Theology Doctorate since they claim to be able to judge your beliefs.
Some information and videos that might help:

Fetal cell lines were used in testing all COVID vaccines. If you object to that, based on your religious beliefs, then you may have a religious objection to taking the COVID vaccine.
They may ask you about other vaccines. A reasonable answer is that you didn’t realize vaccines were connected to abortion until recently, and you are still researching that (if true). Do you do flu vaccines? Are you doing one this year? If not in general or just not this year, then that may be evidence that this choice is sincere and not just an excuse to avoid the COVID jab.
Good luck!
I looked up the name of the person on my email, and it appears to be from an attorney that works for the Chief Legal Counsel of the parent company that owns the company I work for. This is not an HR person. Now I am more concerned that this may be a set up!
Under the law, a “religious” exemption is validly granted under moral, philosophical, or religious (as in, organized religious) grounds. The sincerely helf belief does NOT need to be part of an organized religion, nor does it have to be afformed by clergy or any other person.
Here are links and resources to help write a religious exemption request.

It is important to put your letter in your words. You are saying that YOU feel this way. Copying a form you find online isn’t going to demonstrate that these are your strong beliefs.
Go to the Facebook page of attorney Chris Wiest. He has a letter you can adapt to your situation.
Watch Peggy Hall’s videos and start with this one. They are only allowed to make a limited inquiry about your religion and your religious belief’s and they are easily established meaning you don’t have to go to great lengths to prove you are a Christian.

So if you are denied your exemption what is your fallback plan?
Good luck bro. It’s always best to be prepared. From someone who has been fired/let go/laid off many times, always look around and never be relaxed in the private sector.
FYI a friend did this and HR replied by asking him if he, along with his WIFE AND CHILDREN, had ever taken any vaccine that employed fetal cells in either testing or final product. Outrageous, I know, but they asked him.
Keep in mind that you do NOT need support or affirmation from any religious leader.
I would show up to that meeting with a surprise attorney in tow!
You going to pay the OP’s bills when he rolls out your claim?

It might be best to request in writing to receive in writing the info needed by employer.
You can check unknown or say not relevant or necessary. Put the burden on them at beginning ir they will keep sending it back to you over and over.

This is a religious statement invoking our Creator.
The "vaccine mandate" also violate the 1st, 4th, 10th, 13th and 14th Amendments at a minimum.
My company decided not to challenge my claim as yours seems to be doing but your talking points in your original post seem pretty solid. If this is what you truly believe, you should have clear sailing. I also had talking points ready in case I had an interview and I was prepared to walk - after 35 years, most of them in a management position.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out for you.
