It's not a place where Big Brother imposes its dictatorial church/state separation on our personal beliefs, "political correctness gone mad" versus 50,000 year old and still going strong theism. These are sick and dying people and their carers - LEAVE THEM ALONE!.
Point missed entirely. Go back and reread the thread.
This thread isn't about religious views being forced upon patients, but about employees being forced to attend religious rituals during staff meetings. Plus, Dawn's already explained that...
Hospice chaplains are supposed to offer spiritual support to patients and families at their request and in a way that is respectful to them no matter what religion they have.
...which makes your hysterical rant about 'leaving sick and dying people alone' entirely superfluous to this discussion. We are not talking about patients being withheld spiritual support, because that's simply not what's at stake here. Central to the issue is staff being forced to attend religious rituals. Try to stick to the topic.
