religious objections

Belief-driven moral opposition

Religious objections are refusals to comply with a law, policy, or practice based on religious belief.

The phrase appears most often in legal and workplace contexts where someone claims their faith prevents them from doing something otherwise required: She filed for an exemption based on religious objections to the vaccine.

Religious objections may be accommodated or overridden depending on jurisdiction and competing interests.
