Do I have to belong to a religious denomination to qualify for a religious exemption to the COVID vaccine?

November 22, 2021 by Megan Redshaw

No, you do not need to belong to a particular religious denomination to request and qualify for a vaccine exemption to the COVID vaccine. Under Title Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, “religion” is very broadly defined and encompasses not only organized religions, but also informal beliefs. “Religion” under the law can also encompass non-theistic and moral beliefs.

Title VII defines “religion” as “all aspects of religious observance and practice, as well as belief unless an employer demonstrates that he is unable to reasonably accommodate an employee’s or prospective employee’s religious observance or practice without undue hardship on the conduct of the employer’s business.” 42 U.S.C. § 2000e(j).

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says employers generally should assume that a request for a religious exemption is sincere, regardless of how untraditional the religion may be or appear to be, and that an employee seeking an exemption need not show they are scrupulous in their religious observance.
