Abstract
Religion is an element of culture that is present in the process of health-illness-care. This presence is not only at a personal level, but at a collective level through public health policies. These policies should be thought for the whole population, regardless of whether they believe or do not believe in a particular religion. However, Christianity is a proselytizing religion, in whose history can be seen imposing its vision on other visions (Middle Ages is the best example). In the contemporary world, religion continues to seek to impose its criteria, also in the field of health. The proposal of this work is that there are ethical issues that underlie the collective and that make this type of impositions is not correct in contemporary societies, multicultural and morally pluralist.
