This isn't about religion for me on this occasion this is about a woman who didn't do what she was told and whether it was two or two hundred people got upset by it. Rules are rules and are not there to be disrgarded because they don't fit what you like to do she was told she ignored and now she is getting the reward for that. All this talk of religious freedom is a smoke screen in this case because no one is saying she can't be religious they are saying don't offer prays to patients and she did so what is the big deal.
I am an atheist well known on here don't hide it and yes i think some people have gone a bit ott on this but if she had done what she was told there wouldn't be a problem thats the basic issue here not religion or the freedom of religion in this country it is about an employee being given an order and not complyng with that and just because she was offering prayers should not mean she gets any special consideration.

I couldn't have put it better Rizzy, lest people forget she is in a position of power ministering to sick people, how many people have not complained about her behavior for fear of causing a stink?
If her beliefs are that important that she can't separate them from her work, maybe a change of vocation is in order.
Oh and before I'm accused of wanting to dehumanize her, I'd suggest its perfectly simple to be compassionate and caring without invoking religion on her patients...surely thats not asking too much.
