The user's interpretation of the Hippocratic Oath, which ought to include the
Nuremberg Code in settings where that has been formulated (the campaign this was created for is a couple of years prior to that).

See above. I've also been an atheist since I was capable of forming an opinion on it, but I tried to pack too much into "culturally-specific" and over-simplified: giving someone who
already professes a religion an SoD to it in exchange for, e.g., a harmful Compulsive Behaviour,
with informed consent, is plausibly ethical. Converting someone without their consent definitely is not.
