Doctors are demanding that NHS staff be given a right to discuss spiritual issues with patients as well as being allowed to offer to pray for them.
Medics will tell the British Medical Association conference this week that staff should not be disciplined as long as they handle the issue sensitively.
The doctors said recent cases where health workers had got into trouble were making people fearful.
But atheists said it was wrong to mix religion and health care.
So why is it right to mix atheism and health care? These people are trying to drive religion out of the public sector and impose a sterile atheistic secularism.
Hmmm, interesting. I had not thought of that angle. If we go to socialized medicine in this country, would that be the case here in the US? We have a much greater “separation of church and state” mantra than does Britain.
