 In general, the man's lifestyle prior to making his claim must reflect his current claims.The Supreme Court has ruled in cases "United States v. Seeger" (1965) and "Welsh v. United States" (1970) that conscientious objection can be by non-religious beliefs as well as religious beliefs; but it has also ruled in "Gillette v. United States" (1971) against objections to specific wars as grounds for conscientious objection.There is currently no mechanism to indicate that one is a conscientious objector in the Selective Service system.
