- Guidance reportedly crafted by military attorneys urged Coast Guard chaplains to grill service members on their religious beliefs and practices, draft documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation show.
- “Note any comments made by the member that make it appear they are using the religious exemption as a ruse to avoid the vaccine,” the guidance said.
- Ethics and Public Policy Center senior fellow Roger Severino told the DCNF Thursday that the guidance is “one of the worst Establishment Clause violations” he has seen in his lifetime.
““Across the entire DOD the services are requiring people who have a religious objection to the vaccine mandate, if they submit a request for a religious exemption, to undergo a series of what they’re calling interviews with medical providers and chaplains,” Berry said in a Thursday phone interview.”
