1: There seems to be the usual propensity to interpret a minority of religious people as a pretext to eliminating all religion from the public forum.
2: Agree with prayers although I think there should be a time of contemplation prior to Government meetings.
3: There is the usual suggestion that the NHS should treat according to the materialist scientism conception of what a person is. This is imposing a view on the sick and the dying.

Not the secular view, as repeated to you many times, the religious viewpoint isn't due any extra representation in any subject than any other point of view, ie., no more or any less representation by those that hold a religious points of view and those that don't.

Nothing wrong with praying/contemplating before any meetings Government or any other kind of meeting, as long as the prayers are held by those that want them in their own time, because if not, those that have no need of this kind of thing have to stand around like spare pr$*&s, and wait while the others that do go through their time wasting, superstition based utterances/contemplations.

There is no imposing of this scientism on people by the NHS, we tax payers spend a lot of money on chaplains, especially to deal with any religious nonsense required.
Incidentally it's about time the state removed the funding of these chaplains,
NOT REMOVE THE CHAPLAINS, christian chaplain christian funding, islamic chaplain islamic funding etc etc to whatever religion is involved.
