My point is that your "freedom" to believe things is not really a true form of freedom. We say "you should be free to believe what you want" but when used properly that's really a shorthand for saying "we should never attempt to ban ideas or ways of thinking". And it shouldn't be confused with "all ideas, opinions and hypotheses are of equal worth, and discouraging certain ones is a form of oppression". You only have true freedom to make a decision according to your values if you have all the relevant information at your disposal. Someone who has convinced themselves that asking Jesus for help twice will relieve chest pains does not have that information and therefore has robbed themselves of the freedom to make that decision independently. My point is that advising someone to use proven medicines instead of relying on prayer is not oppressive and does not violate their freedom of thought or belief: it is in fact vital if those freedoms are to be properly expressed.
