The court in its discretion may refuse to make such order in any case where the court finds the patient or the patient's parent, parents, or guardian are members of a religious denomination whose tenets preclude dependence on the practice of medicine or surgery and desire in good faith to rely upon the practice of their religion for relief from disease or disorder.
