Lead- in the same way people didn't get COVID shots. Thousands of ministers, priests, and other God guys would sign the paperwork for exclusion.
That's why the military is the biggest adversary to the draft. We rely on a professional military, which is the best because those (say 15% although I think it would be higher) are about 80% of the problems of rape, dope, etc. The military is very happy with the all-volunteer military. And out of the industrialized nations, GB & CA have completely volunteer militaries. FR doesn't count because they haven't done anything in the past 100 years' worthwhile.
Israel, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Turkey, Finland, China and all their satellites (VietNam, Cambodia, Laos), Russia and all their satellites (all the 'stans), Thailand, Iran, Eritrea, Mali, Morocco, and Tunisia all have the draft. There are still more, but those are the main countries.

You can be a conscientious objector like Muhammed Ali. That's what I would have done if the draft was around at the time and I was drafted. But my objection would not have been on religious grounds - it would have been on practical grounds... because we lose every war we start and I'm not a loooooooooooooooser. 🙂
