Information About Applied Religious Exemptions
Our legal rights are guaranteed by the free exercise clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. States can only go against this if they can prove a compelling state interest is at stake.
But recent court decisions have upheld the rights of individuals seeking exemptions from immunizations based upon "personal" religious beliefs.
[Sherr and Levy vs. Northport East-Northport Union Free School District, 672 F. Supp. 81, (E.D.N.Y., 1987); Allanson vs. Clinton Central School District, U.S.. District Court, Northern District Court, Northern District of New York (84 CV 174), 1984; Campain vs. Marlboro Central School District, Supreme Court Ulster County Special Term, November 15, 1985; Brown vs. City School District, 429 NYS2d 355; Maier vs. Besser, 73 Misc.2d 241].
On the U.S. Supreme Court level in Frazee v. Illinois Dept. of Security, 489 U.S. 829, 1989, it was found that a state may not deny an exemption simply because a person is not a member of a formal religious organization. In addition, the Supreme Court has noted that nontraditional beliefs, including secular humanism, atheism, and nontheistic faiths, are all "religion" for the purpose of free exercise analysis. The Supreme Court in Fowler v. Rhode Island, 345 U.S. 67 (1953) held that it was "no business of the courts to say what is a religious practice or activity for one group is not religion under the protection of the First Amendment."

Recent? Most of the cases you cited are from the 1980s. I don't trust any court since Obama used black-male against the SCOTUS to redefine marriage. That is a sacred "religious" bond. And afterward it was hard as hell to get a religious exemption to not bake a cake, arrange flowers, refuse a venue, turn down a photo session, or engrave invitations.
If you think any religious exemption is still going to apply when challenged in front of an Obama judge, you are living in dreamland.
