Yeah. I have a colleague (the only one I know of) who also wanted to file an exemption, so we split the cost of the lawyer and spoke to him at the same time. We also had a wider variety of questions that way - we'd both thought of different "gottchas." Both of us are mostly worried about discrimination and even though the lawyer tried to reassure us a bit, he said the fact that we were worried enough to ask him, tells him that there is a chance of it. I'm glad we spent the money, it did make me feel better.
When you file the exemption just make sure not to mention "science." Nothing about it being experimental, nothing about side effects, or lack of efficacy. Make sure you only mention religious reasons that they can't argue with because those are your beliefs, logical to them or not.
