I think you’re much better off with a brief claim of a religious (or possibly medical) exemption than to send this letter. This letter would probably be Exhibit A in the hearing to deny your unemployment benefits because they had good cause to fire you.

To all who are interested in this subject, please review the following links:

1. https://www.hubinternational.com/products/risk-services/hub-crisis-resources/coronavirus-resource-center/covid-19-workplace-faq/vaccination-programs-and-employment-laws/ada-and-title-vii-issues-regarding-mandatory-vaccinations/

2. https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/29/1605.1

Claiming a religious exemption doesn’t require moving heaven and earth. It doesn’t require a papal blessing. It only takes a deep and sincere spiritual, ethical, and/or moral belief that precludes your participation.

I will be asserting my religious rights when it’s time at my company and will be making others aware of how broad the religious exemption is, because almost everyone who isn’t vaccinated by now has at least one deeply held and sincere spiritual, ethical, or moral beliefs that prevent compliance with these mandates.

And I won’t be boxing myself in with a long letter. I’ll just let them know that I need a religious exemption. And if my employer wants to press me on it, I’m going to immediately let them know that their questioning of my faith and trying to pick it apart feels like deeply hostile conduct aimed solely at my religious beliefs, and I will ask them if they have at any other time grilled other employees about their religious beliefs in the context of requests for accommodation, because if not, then their conduct really concerns me as discrimination against my religion which, again, is troubling for creating a hostile environment based solely on my religious beliefs.

Then, if they insist, I’ll walk them through, in a general fashion, my objections, which will be all three of the spiritual, ethical, and moral classes of “religious” belief. I’ll send an email to the head of HR with our labor and employment lawyer copied in reiterating how troubling it was too be treated differently based solely on my religious beliefs and how I’m worried that my employment opportunities are being stifled by a hostile response to my religion.

Everyone needs to do their own thing and follow their path. But for me, I will tolerate no religious discrimination and will put them on immediate notice that I know that I have the right to be free from a hostile work environment based on a protected class characteristic like religion. And that if they want to take further action, that it runs a high risk of being religion-based retaliation at that point. They may be ok with the risk if it’s just me. But if there are even four or five others who assert their rights, I think that it starts looking a lot less attractive to them as a company to face multiple lawsuits or settlements.

Oh, and I’ll be immediately looking for alternate employment anyway, because if I even need to assert my religious belief to protect me against forced vaccination, it’s not company worth staying at.

Note that this is just my approach that I’ve independently developed. None of this is legal advice. Consult a qualified lawyer in your jurisdiction if you want or need legal advice.

Another resource; https://drleemerritt.com/uploads/Fighting%20your%20mandate4.pdf

Includes a questionnaire for your employer to fill out. Might help them think critically.
