Asking for a religious exemption means you're asking permission to have faith.
You are a slave at that point.
But you do you.
Point of order...
A religious exemption, if done properly and according to the law, is not a request, but an assertion.
You assert your exemption, and then that puts the state/employer in the realm of "strict scrutiny." They must prove three things, all of which are a very high bar. Should they fail to prove all three to the legal standard (again, VERY HIGH bar), and your assertion met its two prongs (very low bar), they are then open to legal action, which could prove ruinous, depending on the legal environment.
My exemption was written with 5 points. The two I had to establish and how the employer cannot meet any of the three, much less all, of the criteria for "strict scrutiny" under the various federal labor laws.
Not once did I mention anything related to stem cells or abortion.
Bottom line: it was every man for himself. The only hope we have is that some organized resistance is borne out of the chaos and destruction we all tried, with varying degrees of success, to sidestep.
See my tagline for what I have in mind.
