Do you think mental health professionals should be required to reveal their religious affiliations so that an individual can make an informed decision about the kind of treatment they can expect?

I think I would want to know if the person I was relying on for help thought that it didn't really matter as the rapture would be along any day now.

for me a religious shrink is ok as long as the shrink does not talk about religion to me, that should left out of the treatment.

What makes you so sure you can judge someone's mentality properly, or reality for that matter. If you can, then the question is, why aren't you a shrink?

I know that most of the Christian psychiatrists do in fact proclaim their faith, it's part of their advertisement. If you go to a church and a counselor refers you to a doctor, they will send you to a Christian one they already know.
So we're all cool with it ... I suppose you could ask when you make your appointment, just as you would with any other doctor.

What do you mean most of humanity dies? I believe that most of us have come to the consensus that everybody dies.

People who attend religious services DO NOT live longer than those who don't. It just SEEMS longer because you have to sit through all those boring sermons.

ALL of humanity dies sooner or later.
Which fantasy world do you live in where people don't die?
