No matter how wacky the belief, medicine, if practiced correctly is based on hard science, not 1,000 hands clasped in prayer, doing jackshit when someone has a bacterial infection.
You are conflating the an alleged humanitarian impulse to do good with the results achieved.
Think of how many of the faithful attempted to cure diseases (and failed miserably) before the advent of modern medicine.
Medicine + Faith = Medicine + 0
Faith is worthless.
