I think you might be over analyzing this and should give the person a benefit of a doubt before you say no. Yes there are professionals who are religious but I've found that more often than not they have sided with science and this is why they are in this field. They see the way the brain works and are trying to fix it.
I mean what is the worst that can happen? They start in on religion being good. You tell them no thank you. They continue. You stop seeing them.
Still though I realllllllly think your chances of that happening are minimal.
I wouldn't say that.
There are unfortunately plenty of theists who try to pass themselves off as lagit therapists. "Gay conversion" bullshit is widely sold by religious frauds.
I would say it is certainly possible to find secular therapist, even if they have a personal religion, who is willing to leave it at the door.
But I agree, if they push religion, after you ask them not to, hit the door, don't look back, seek someone else.
