It's legit in that it is recognized by the government. Quite a large number of smaller churches and groups utilize their "ordination" to allow the pastor to legally preform marriages, as proof of ordination is required when filing the license with the local county.
It would "help," in that some religious exemption laws require your reasoning to be doctrine of an established religion. You might not need any additional proof if you can show that you are a "licensed preacher."
I say might, cause there's no guarantee that would work. I think we are going to see a lot of religious exemption claims denied. When people in power have already decided people don't have the right to refuse, they will just ignore things they see as nothing more than a loophole.
Or you could also just go to universal ministries to be an ordained minister. Cost me about $100 a decade ago.
Is that legit though? I just looked it up and weirdly intrigued xD
And, in what way would that help this vaccine thing?
