Mutual accommodation

"...[Some] evangelical churches...claim vaccination confers the mark of the beast. (Note, too, that the E.E.O.C.'s definition of "religious beliefs" includes "moral or ethical beliefs as to what is right and wrong which are sincerely held with the strength of traditional religious views.")

Not all religious objections need to be accommodated, though. A requirement can be deemed a bona fide occupational requirement even if it effectively discriminates against people with anomalous views; and the same logic can apply to an institution's residents, students or patients. We seek to accommodate religious (or religious-like) views so long as that accommodation doesn't come at serious cost. When that's not possible, it's no expression of hostility to the religious to ask them to make accommodations. At least in the tradition I was raised in, this was understood. There were inconveniences associated with sticking to the demands of our faith. We bore them willingly as part of the service we were offering to God." -The Ethicist
