As demonstrated, religion and spirituality as well as the nature of human beings are critical components in healthcare. The topic readings show interesting aspects of these issues by dissecting in-depth information to enhance overall understanding for providers and patients. In his study, Zaidi (2018) notes that religion and spirituality in healthcare and medicine assists providers to empathize with their patients, and advance faith-based interventions and initiatives, policies and legislations. The interesting things about the topic readings include their perception of different components that impact spirituality.

Firstly, the topic on scientism draws critical analysis and perspectives on the physical nature of the world, especially on the issue of reality (Moreland, 2018) The articles on scientism advance the perspective that scientism affects the ability for individuals to consider a more nuanced approach to religion and spirituality as well as concepts like ultimate reality and the nature of human beings. Further, the reading is interesting as it emphasizes that the only source of knowledge is scientism and any other ideas are mere expression of emotions as well as private opinions. These approaches are important but miss the consideration of the wider perspective that should inform best practices in care management of patients.

The readings on scientism present a critical analysis of the existing of God and the creation and how individuals make what is wrong and right in their daily activities. These readings are interesting because they offer a nuanced approach since people have different perspectives and channeling them to accept certain theoretical approaches may be challenging in the long-term (AAAS, 2022). The implication is that the readings are effective in showing the different aspects of spirituality and how they impact care delivery in healthcare settings among patients and providers.
