Just because a value is within a religion does not make that value invalid. In fact i'd argue that there is no difference between a value that comes from religion and one that comes from elsewhere. If a person considers it one of their values then it is a value.

Also we don't need the Pope or Koran to tell us that ignoring the sick is is wrong.
