Given enough time, one might see evolutionary pressures come into play. Those that rely on "faith healing" will in time have less children to pass on their genes than those who do not. (If you ascribe to "Social Darwinism," then they will have less children to pass on their beliefs, faiths, and values, as well.)

That also goes for homeopathy. Works about as well as faith healing. (Actually, homeopathy does have documentable successes that faith healing does not. For example, homeopathic remedies will revive wilting plants and slake thirst. Homeopathic remedies will resolve dehydration.)

Burning them at the steak seems a waste of a good steak. Oh, you wrote "stake." It's a waste of a good stake, too.
