The most ridiculous part of this is that when you "apply" for a religious exemption, you have to explain your beliefs and they get to decide if it's "worthy" or not. As far as I'm concerned, that is a direct violation of my right to freely exercise my religion. I'll claim it, but I'm not giving a book report on why. When we had an exemption for my son, I just checked the "religious objection" box, as soon as you give them anything, they'll twist it until they can deny it. I'm certainly not going to beg for any job, but I'm willing to fight so others don't have to.
