Since your teacher seems to understand your predicament, have him or her mention the fact that your counselor essentially discriminated against you due to religious beliefs (a BIG no-no to colleges). Your teacher rec could definitely help. If your teacher can’t or won’t explain it, you may have to do so yourself, which won’t be as effective, but may cause the college to look into it more.

Finally, I would say maybe try and see if someone else could write it. Could your principal give you a rec? Maybe you could request a different counselor? Do your best to overcome this blatant discrimination!
