I don't think it's anything to do with the p.c. brigade, or freedom of speech, after all a persons beliefs are a fragile part of humanity, if I believe in one thing and you believe in another there should be mutual respect.

If a patient is treated by an atheist or a member of Gods community then their beliefs should be respected by the person administering care, it is not the Nurses duty to force her beliefs onto the patient even if she, (the nurse), is doing it for what she considers to be the best reasons, the patient is in a vulnerable position and has his/her human rights or freedom of opinion to be cared for as well.
