The actual substance of Roman cultural religion depends on their rituals instead of individual beliefs and is collective, not personal. The rituals entail festivals, offerings usually wine, food and animal sacrifices.

Avoid provision of morally forbidden healthcare services such as abortion, and physician assassinated suicide
Recommend preferential alternatives for the poor through internal taxing system that redistributes resources from affluent to impoverished of a similar country
Provide care in relation to Roman Catholic religious commitments
