For instance, in this video religious claim is that out of all the millions of people visiting Lourdes for many years there has been 66 "confirmed healings", which, let's face it, doesn't make any positive impression at all.
Lourdes water didn't cure my little brother when I was in Catholic School (1st Grade), despite the pure faith of my youth and the grandiose claims of the nuns. That may have been the first strike against religion on my long ascent to atheism.
