My company came out with a vax mandate and I have filed for a religious exemption. My initial request had the following statements... I received a message today that they want to have an interactive discussion about my request... The focus of the discussion is to learn more about your religious beliefs and restrictions, and discuss potential accommodations.
I am a little nervous as to what they might ask, how I might respond, etc. I don’t want to lose my chance at an exemption by fumbling my responses. Any guidance and resources would be appreciated. Below is what I said in my initial request for the religious exemption.

How about you inform them that you don’t need any sort of exemption?
Our forefathers risked their lives, their freedom, their riches, their livelihood to found this free country. And we can’t risk our jobs?
Quit allowing them to believe they can offer exemptions.

Two other things I would do is hand them a copy of the Nuremberg Code and a copy of the Constitution.
I like what KC said about not giving them any reason. And that our forefathers risked their lives for a free people.
I know it’s hard to stand up and say.. “Count me out.”
I know this isn’t the same, but I had to stand firm years ago when I decided to pull my kids out of public school and home school them.
It wasn’t fashionable, it was going against the flow. You would not believe the comments I got. At the time, it was also kind of illegal, the only loophole being that private schools at the time didn’t need to have accredited teachers.
I got really good at giving people this look that basically told them to shut up lol. I had one lady tell me I was a stain on womanhood hahahahahaha and that’s how I responded.. I laughed. Whatever.
C, our youngest, broke his arm when he was 10. Had to take him, of course, for regular x-rays, and was sitting next to someone, might have been a former teacher and she said.. “Aren’t you worried about socialization?” To which I snorted and said, “Yes, do you think it’s natural for a child to spend all day with people his own age and not learn how to talk to adults or other kids?” Then I looked at her and said.. “Do you spend all day with only people your age?” I also said something about bullying, but I can’t quite remember what I said.
I mean, at that school, they mixed all the grades on the playground which was the stupidest idea ever because the 6th grade boys would stop the 2nd/3rd graders from using the bathroom. Why would I want my kids in an environment like that? Why would I subject my kids to being hit upside the head by an older kid?? Then if they retaliate, they also get in trouble? Heck no.
So be strong in your answer, which to me is a big fat no, I’m not going along with your mandate.
As soon as you give them an inch, they will take a mile. Remember 2 weeks to flatten the curve? We must stand strong, take a stand, and not give in.
Sorry.. not what you wanted to hear.
See, what happens next is they ask other questions.. “Are you keeping your body a holy temple for God??” Etc, etc implying no sugar, eat healthy, no smoking, no drinking.
