Yes, left of center.   Based on the views of people who post on Mudcat, if you count the individuals, not the posts, it is obvious.

Center of course includes the views of people outside Mudcat. The majority of whom, I would venture to say, would support the nurse.

And certainly heavily anti-religion.    Those who say outright they are religious are few--Joe, Georgian Silver, Slag--and not many more.

Some are reasonable about it--like Amos.   Many more can be described as rabidly anti-religion.

I would say that description fits anybody who criticizes the nurse who took "no" for an answer. There was no attempt as proselytizing.

And the legal aspects also support the nurse. As Richard points out, those who wanted to punish the nurse have no legal case.


Also if you want to allege that social workers and pastors think the nurse was wrong, you should also take into account the many descriptions by people who actually were in hospital for a serious operation---Kendall, Jan, and some others.

Even if not religious, these people did not feel in the slightest affronted or threatened by the offer to pray.
