Keep it short, state a religious belief on why you don’t want the shot, and leave the science and personal opinions out of it. Make it so they can’t argue your belief.
Helpful suggestion, don't go with the fetal cell argument that so many people argue. It has giant holes that allow them to doubt/question the sincerity (i.e. if you take aspirin or almost any modern medicine you'd be violating it)
Just argue something simple: "my body is extremely important to me and I don't believe in doing things to it that are know deep down aren't right. I don't believe doing actions purely because of threats/fear (e.g. Do this or you can't come to college) is the way to live out our lives on earth. I believe in living a life with integrity"... then quote a bunch of bible passages on integrity.
Keep it focused on how you conduct yourself (rather than what you actually think of the vaccine) and stay away from the science arguments.

Christian is pretty vague and most people have different definitions for that term. Some consider Catholics to be Christians while others don’t. I think you are safe with either option there. Doesn’t hurt to throw a bible verse or two in there to support your beliefs. Asking for a religious letter from anyone is unreasonable and a religion can be your own, personal belief and not include any organized movement. Peggy Hall has some great videos on YT that could help you too.

Don't say anything your covid lawyer would advise against.

3 sentences.
I am applying for a religious exemption. I will be forced to leave the university without it. Thank you for your understanding.
The less said the better.
I stand by my original three sentences.
Theyre asking this and asking that.
If it were me i might add a 4th and tell them to fuck off to hell.
You dont have to "explain" your religion to a bunch of satanic souless bastards.
They either comply with you or lose a customer.
This is a great letter by a prof. But please keep yours simple.
Godspeed.
