How would you approach a patient that refused care based on their religious beliefs, even if you knew their decision could cause them to die?

"I understand that it might be difficult to accept, but I would need to honor my patient's wishes if they refuse care for any reason. I would inform them of all the possibilities care could provide and that refusing care could cause death. I would also offer them to get a second or third opinion if they chose. Once the patient is fully informed, I would have them sign an against medical advice form following my hospital's protocols."
