Yeah it does appear that this was sort of the problem here.

Theres a wee bit of a difference between your employer mandating you do something that has a monumental permanent impact on your life beyond the hours you are working and something that doesnt.

We live in a country where you can be fired for getting an abortion, using birth control, getting invitro fertilization, being a smoker, or any number of things, depending on jurisdiction.

A healthcare provider can certainly fire you for not getting vaccinated. You can also definitely be fired if you file for a religious exemption under false pretenses. Whether that's a stupid idea for the employer because of risk of having to deal with a flood of civil suits is another matter.

I mean my company was real fucking close to mandating that shit because of govt. Emails were going out already asking for our vac status until the Supreme Court pulled the plug.

That's why I specifically said healthcare workers, because they were exempt from the SC ruling.

People also need to understand that the SC ruling only prevents OSHA from enforcing that all employers mandate vaccinations. It does not prevent employers from mandating vaccinations on their own.

That said, my employer requires me to be vaccinated, for a fulltime remote position, because multiple companies who contract work to us require that all outside contractors are vaccinated, regardless of government mandate. If I did not comply, my employer would be within their right to fire me.

You will get no arguments from me that this is fucking stupid, but it's also how employment law in this country works. At-will employment.

Now if there were only some quality to assure.
