That's why I think if people just said "I'm exempt" and carry on. Legally they aren't allowed to ask you why you are exempt (HIPPA). But just know in your heart that you are exempt because the Constitution says you are exempt.
It's also a religious issue, the bible says don't wear masks.
I'm a Christian and I've never read that, before. Do you have a verse I could look up?
I've seen references to women wearing veils and veiling their faces (Rebekah when she falls of the camel after seeing Issac for the first time. She covers her face with her veil).
2 Corinthians 3
For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
The veil in that verse is figurative. It's a metaphor for spiritual understanding. Which is why it says the veil is upon their heart. A physical veil could not be on someone's heart, so God was using the veil as a metaphor to show how people have hardened their hearts and minds to the truth, but when they turn to God the metaphorical veil is lifted and they understand the truth instead of "veiling" themselves and turning away from it.
But hey if claiming religious exemptions work then go for it lol
A better argument I heard for that was someone that said he just explained that he trusted God with his health and the health of those around him, so not wearing a mask is a demonstration of his faith that God will take care of him and those around him. :)
