Sec. 1636.3  Basis for classification in Class 1-A-0.

    (a) A registrant must be conscientiously opposed to participation in 
combatant training and service in the Armed Forces.
    (b) A registrant's objection may be founded on religious training 
and belief; it may be based on strictly religious beliefs, or on 
personal beliefs that are purely ethical or moral in source or content 
and occupy in the life of a registrant a place parallel to that filled 
by belief in a Supreme Being for those holding more traditionally 
religious views.
    (c) A registrant's objection must be sincere.
