Why should you use the term exception instead of exemption?
An exemption indicates that you are asking to be exempted from a specific activity; and implies the requesting authority has the power to determine if you can be exempted. An exception notifies any presumed authority that you are excepted out of the ability to impose any requirement to begin with.
No presumed authority has the ability to decide what your beliefs, are and if you weren't already aware, the definition of faith, according to the courts, has always been " a firmly or strongly held belief".
No other person, including a spiritual or religious leader, has the ability to decide what you believe.

Important things to remember:
Switch language from "exemption" to exception", even when speaking !
(These "mandates" are unconstitutional. You do not need to ask permission to be exempt from an action that is violating your unalienable rights)
If you must submit online, READ IT CAREFULLY !
(Sometimes they try to trick you into agreeing to things you will not want to agree with)
Keep all communication in writing !
(If you MUST have any in-person communication, record it. However, be sure your state has a 1-party consent clause)
Stay away from scientific and political statements !
(Although it may be challenging at times, keep strictly to your strongly held religious beliefs)
DO NOT "voluntarily resign" !
(They will try their absolute hardest to try and say you are voluntarily resigning if you do not do what they are asking. HOLD THE LINE. You may appeal, and take legal action if they wrongfully terminate you)
Although it is absolutely unnecessary for a ministry to be required to speak to YOUR faith, if the need arises we are more than happy to help. Please email us at wearetheBOLD@protonmail.com
