Obviously we don't as patients have a say, the question is probably more "academic/hypothetical";
I'd prefer an Evolutionist, but obviously if a Creationist can heal me I guess it would be hard to object.

Such a doctor could not have understood 60% or more of the material taught in medical school and still believed anything but evolution. Therefore, his/her qualifications are questionable and his/her medical knowledge is lacking.
I would not knowingly allow such a doctor to even use a tongue depressor on me, let alone open my flesh.

Thats hard to answer. Generaly it would only matter if they are a doctor. But the prolem is I am an atheist. And if the person called a christian finds that out, I would be a little worried with some versions of christianity. Not the major ones as much for that situation, but it is possible to find some christian sects with inteligent people in them who may want to poisen salad bars.
I would hardly ever ask what the religion of the doctor is, but hey, they ask what religion we are, so maybe I should consider it. What if the docotr is a Jehovah Witness? They may be more inclinded to stay away from giving me information on blood transfusions. However I think the doctors cant truelly operate solo anyway, and thats a good thing.
You know it is possible to find someone who knows how to make a nuclear bomb and believes they are going to get 72 virgins in the afterlife. So it is something to consider, though at most times I would probably forget to ask for their religion. I would usually trust that they will perform their duties honestly.

1. As patients, we always have a say.
2. Political and religious beliefs have little to do with medical competence. There are always crackpots, but they usually don't keep medical licenses for long.
3. How would you know?

I would have trouble objecting unless that doctor was going to treat me for what the disease used to be, rather than what it has since evolved into.

Sure, as long as she proved competent in her area of expertise. The world is filled with functionally insane people. Just avoid talking about their insanity triggers when under their advisement.

Oh, I wouldn't care either way. I don't think that someone in the medical field would let a belief (either one) affect their standard of care.
However, I would object if my doctor/surgeon was wearing a burka.

Yeah, that's the first question on my lips when I"m in surgery. "I"m sorry, but what's your beliefs in God and Creationism and Evolution?" Hon, when I'm in the hospital, as long as they're not killing a chicken over me, I don't care as long as I get better. The chicken is just unhygienic.

I'd let the nearest qualified doctor operate, theology/politics be damned!
