John P,
Keith, what makes you think that most would not agree with Bill's views? I certainly agree with them.

This story only hit the news because the media recognised that the action against the nurse would be considered exraordinary by most people.
That is what made it news.
There followed an outpouring of public opinion which led to the nurse being reinstated, with a statement that she had done nothing wrong which was a rebuke to her accusers.

Your average atheist would not be disturbed by a nurse who, after tending to his needs, aked if he would like a prayer.
Bill would have insisted that her bosses "addressed" her behaviour.
I think that is an extreme point of view.
Like a fundamentalist.
