As part of the pre-registration process I had to complete an account set up. One of the tasks was to select my religion (the hospital's name is Saint Soandso). While I could have selected atheist, I instead selected "other" and wrote in voodoo. Should be a fun intake interview.
Must be that time of year, I have one in 3 weeks. I know this institution has asked religious preference in the past. Stating that I was an atheist didn't matter, they still asked if I wanted to pray prior to going under anesthesia.
The last time my missus went under the knife, she explicitly stated her religious affiliation (‘none’) on the form and asked not to be visited by clergy. Didn’t matter, the hospital chaplain still showed up. If it hadn’t been for the midazolam, the hospital might have had to advertise for a new chaplain.
