If it's a Catholic organization I see no problem - They're still idiots though.

If in the USA, follow up question, should the federal government be funding it?

Not in the USA - But if you're interested - I think governments should fund healthcare organizations on principle and pursue a policy of universal health service - I don't see why they should fund a religious organization because it clearly violates the principle of secularism - I don't even see why healthcare organizations should be allowed to have a religion.

Cool.

Is this by any chance a religious based or backed system?

If so, scroll down to #2.

But health care is not a primary religious activity.

Factors to consider that would indicate whether an entity is religious include: whether its articles of incorporation state a religious purpose; whether its day-to-day operations are religious (e.g., are the services the entity performs, the product it produces, or the educational curriculum it provides directed toward propagation of the religion?);

One of our areas largest healthcare providers has the following in their requirements for employment consideration. Keep in mind that this employer receives millions in federal and state funds each year through Medicare and Medicaid .

"Adheres to and exhibits our core values:

Reverence: Having a profound spirit of awe and respect for all creation, shaping relationships to self, to one another and to God and acknowledging that we hold in trust all that has been given to us."

I'll not seek employment with them and have switched to another primary healthcare provider group.

Your thoughts? Do you know of any other employer that receives federal and state funds that has a similar requirement?

its good when you are christian because your taught to love people your more employable as believer and you can get more out of life.

Apparently you're not taught how to construct a sentence though.  Oh well, can't have everything I suppose.  Also don't you get to go through life believing there is a happy place you go to once we dump your body in the ground?  That must be a tough one to take seriously.  Blessed be the gullible.

Good is a relative term, don't need that belief to care for people. More employable how? I think the deluded actually get less out of life.

Do they specify which God anywhere?

There is a difference between a Church and a religious organization or what is loosely coined a Faith Based Organization.  What constitutes a religious organization is absurdly broad.

This provides a decent overview.  #7 and #10(especially) are worth a read.
