Although an employer cannot deny a religious exemption solely on the basis of failure to provide a letter from a pastor — as Title VII and the EEOC also do not require individuals to be part of an organized religion or denomination — providing such may increase the chances of an exemption being granted.
Below is a sample letter provided by a pastor to The Vault Project that has accompanied over 60 successful religious exemption requests. Since your pastor may not be familiar with the biblical objections to COVID vaccines, you can print this letter off, customize it with your name and contact information and ask if your pastor will sign it.
You can also email your pastor the letter to be printed on church letterhead. Note: This sample letter has been redacted to protect the identity of the pastor and church who provided this form.
