Christians who attribute any bit of a good outcome to prayer are deluded people. Take that as you will. In my personal experience, religiosity is a trauma response/coping mechanism. It doesn’t make them bad or not worthy of everything good life has to offer, but it does make them naive. They may not understand or care how disrespectful it is to downplay the efforts of medical professionals saving a man’s life by saying it’s, “probably a mixture of the doctors and the prayer.” It’s not. Obviously. In only 1 of 2 scenarios does Hamlin not die on that field. It’s not the one where everyone immediately starts mass prayer.

As a Jew, I can confidently say that Jews in this situation are all praying for their loved one to be taken to the best doctor available. No one is praying for magic:)

There are a lot of studies showing that prayers help. Just look it up.
