'''Religious exemption''' is a right that many have against mandatory vaccination.  Numerous passages in the [[Bible]] supporting objecting to ingesting unclean substances -- i.e., certain vaccines -- particularly in the letters from [[Saint Paul]] in the [[New Testament]].

'''Religious exemption''' is a right in Federal law (if not in the First Amendment itself) to not be required to do certain things which go against one's religious viewpoints.

 

 

Under current Federal law, no specific membership in, or adherence to, any organized religion is required to claim an exemption: the requestor is only required to have a "sincerely held belief" in order to do so.  However, it is not automatic if an employer can show that granting the exemption would create an "undue hardship".  In the example above, if the business is closed on Sunday, the employer might be able to prove an "undue hardship" and therefore an exemption would not be granted.

 

The issue has surfaced due to certain requirements regarding mandatory vaccination.  Numerous passages in the [[Bible]] supporting objecting to ingesting unclean substances -- i.e., certain vaccines -- particularly in the letters from [[Saint Paul]] in the [[New Testament]].
