Atheists in Healthcare

There are lots of topics I’d like to talk about with regard to atheism in healthcare. You might be surprised how many issues there are:

1. Medical literature on religion in peer-reviewed journals tend to be positive toward religion, as it is seen as helping people cope with illness.
2. There is one (1) journal article specifically addressing atheists with disabilities – and the conclusion of the article is that atheists with disabilities are not studied in the medical literature.
3. As an atheist occupational therapist, how do I meet the religious needs of my clients?
4. Are the spiritual needs of atheists being met in the healthcare field?
5. Since scientific literature makes the claim that strongly religious people are less depressed, heal with greater speed, and are healthier, can we draw from inference that atheists are unhealthy and depressed?
6.  How can a strongly religious healthcare provider meet the needs of his or her atheist client if he or she honestly believes that her atheist client is evil, immoral, and broken?
7. Neurologists suggest that people are wired for religion. Does that mean atheists are not wired for religion?
