IIRC, you can claim religious exemption at ANY point - whether your child has received 0 vaccines or 20 vaccines. You don't have to state a particular religion or provide any details either. As for whether a private school has to accept the exemption, I think it comes down to: 1) do they receive ANY money from the state and 2) I guess a case could be made for discrimination (i.e.: that they are discriminating against your religion by not allowing the exemption).
I don't think you blew it at all. File religious exemption and see what happens! The school is probably just unfamiliar w/it and don't know the rules themselves.
