Hospital Administrator in Sweden Says He Refuses to Offer Treatment to Christians

Ebba Busch Thor, newly elected leader of the Swedish Christian Democrats, has suggested that people with religious convictions should be allowed to refuse participation in abortion. This call for pluralism and individualism has caused some stir in the illiberal fringes of the atheist movement.

“People who believe in a fictional higher power and want to use their delusions in government, i.e. religious people should not be allowed to be politicians,” Dan Johannesson, medical doctor and hospital administrator at Kalmar County Hospital, writes on his official Facebook page. “From now on I refuse to offer treatment to Christians due to my personal inviolable belief that they are possessed by a daemon that may hurt and offend me.”

The irony is that Sweden’s atheist movement awards medical staff that follow their atheist conviction.
