> If they do not push spirituality onto their customers, and ministries still recommend them, would those ministries stop recommending them

Yes, this would definitely happen in many parts of the US.

I'm a minister, in New Zealand (not the US!). I'd always recommend a Christian counsellor to a parishioner who needed counselling, and I'd always go to one myself. If I'm going to unburden myself on a professional I'd rather have a counsellor who was on the same wavelength about God stuff, and I'd really really rather not have one who thought my beliefs were wrong/stupid/etc.

Looking at the Secular Therapists project they clearly fall into the "think my beliefs are wrong/stupid/etc" category. The about us page talks about religion "infecting minds!"
