So the conscientious objector still serves as, for example, a medic.

First, not doing something is an action. Let a man drown. But "I did not do anything; so I am not guilty." Almost 100 watched Kitty Genovese die on that NYC sidewalk. And did not even call the police for about 45 minutes. They watched and did nothing - their actions. Nonsense reasoning; semantics that lawyers succesfully play to confuse reality. Not doing something is an action. So the man drowned and Kitty Genovese was murdered.

Second, the employer is imposing his religion on others. A conscentious objector does not impose his religion on anyone else. Only so called 'evil' people (ie Fundamentalist terrorists) impose their religion on anyone else. This is not about imposing his religion on himself. This is only and completely about imposing his religion on others.
