WashPost talks about how religious beliefs affects treatment decisions:
Patients around the country describe similar experiences — being shocked, judged, humiliated, frightened and angered when they have encountered health-care workers who are overt in some religious beliefs.Sometimes providers proselytize gay or unmarried patients but do provide care. Sometimes they refuse to fill prescriptions for birth control or morning-after pills but refer patients elsewhere. Other times they refuse to treat them at all.
