Let me know when you figure out how to make that fly with an employer, because I would very much like to continue being employed in the near future.

I'm not saying it will, but I'm saying it should. And the fact that it doesn't is evidence that our system is broken.

Freedom of religion only applies to things the government doesn't really, really want you to do. No joke. The verbiage the courts use is that it needs to be a "compelling governmental action." Like, wtf?
