I mostly posted that to show there are limits to the expression of belief in the workplace. You're not allowed to bully others for instance, and those who have no belief or other beliefs have rights as well, so it seems doubtful that an employer cannot act against inappropriate behaviour simply because someone expresses his/her religious beliefs.

If one of my colleagues keeps trying to convert me, and I complain to my boss, my employer can take action against that person as my rights are violated.

Likewise, if this woman keeps banging on about her beliefs to patients and colleagues (If, I'm not saying she does), then the employer has a case for telling her to stop that kind of behaviour in the workplace.
