OK! Now we have atheist nutters!

I don't think it's a problem to ask if you're religious and would like to pray, but I don't think it should be 'forced' or pushed with a patient.

It seems as though extremists are moving away from the traditional religions.

Why, because she was trying to force her religious claptrap onto someone who didn't want to hear it, and who then registered a complaint about it. Not the first complaint about that particular women either.

Serves her right.

Where is anyone comparing it to that?

Religious nutters have a habit of doing the things I mentioned. The OP makes the comparison between religious and athiests nutters.

I don't think these 'athiest nutters' really compare to the 'religious nutters'. It's quite straightforward really.

If that is the case then I agree, but that's not how I think it happened from reading the story, it says she asked once if she would like her to say a prayer, the patient said no and then it was not mentioned again.

I remember reading this the other day when she was first suspended. The patient complained, not because she was offended, but because someone else might have been offended. :rolleyes:
 
Not sure where everyone gets the idea that anything was forced on anyone. The stories say she asked if the woman wanted her to pray for her. That's hardly forcing anything on anyone. I'd be more concerned that someone is that offended by the concept of another person having beliefs they don't share.
 
What's the problem? Surely if she prays on her own time, she ought to be more than welcome to. Those patients who are Christian will thank her, and those who aren't will ignore it as it is a crazy, irrational belief from their point of view.

To be honest this has always been a worry ever since Dawkins brought the atheistic movement to the fore; by publicising it and promoting it as he, and others like him, have done, the very ideals of atheism are being compromised. People are no longer necessarily thinking rationally to reach atheism, which is the very thing that the atheist movement is trying to push.

This ^^ there are people that will ruin atheism (im not an atheist btw) by trying to preach it like a religion, when in reality its the rejection of religion. An atheist would not be offended by a Christian any more than cow would be offended by a pig.

To suspend a nurse over something so insignificant is utterly insane, now the trust has to pay someone to cover for her as well as pay her wages

The first time the woman was warned because she was handing out religous pamphlets. She was asked to stop evangelising. The second time she was suspended after another complaint. Work really isn't the place to be evangelising, especially if you have already been warned to stop it once already.

If you're truelly thinking rationally, you'll reach agnosticism, not atheism.
