If one values faith over science, they should prove it by going to church instead of a hospital when they get sick.

I don't even have to issue this call. My family turn to faith over modern medicine and 2 have died of that route so far! I'm in a clan of walking Darwin Awards! Blah

Ah but to the die hard Faithfools, God and Jeebus both send illnesses, etc, to test their 'faith' and so they can cure those very same illnesses. What a huge frigging joke imo.
Medicine cures, heals and helps fight things like cancers, religion, on the other, merely does its utmost to 'relieve' you of the obesity of your wallet/pocketbook.

Most modern religious people understand and quite understood Stephens Jay Gould's theory of NOMA very well. You can be a proponent of faith and still yet understand that you need the doctors when you are sick

Very true. I'd love to message you but my level is preventing me.

It's almost the same thing. Have you seen how much Xian propaganda has been built into hospitals? Every hospital I've ever been to or visited is festooned with religion from scripture on the walls, to images of Jesus and scenes from the bible everywhere. The all have a chapel for prayer and services and a religious counselor on staff who flits like a butterfly from room to room spreading his holy cheeriness.

Next to churches, hospitals are the most Xian themed places you can go.,

Most thankfully, Australian Public Hospitals are 99% free of religious iconography ( religious graffiti as I prefer to call it btw) BUT there are Chapels in most Public Hospitals sadly.
Though I have often found them to be really great place to drop the much needed and often stinky fart from time to time rather than polluting the hallways, etc.

If faith healing really works, why are doctors still employed in hospitals?

They’re not that disbelieving in science that they’d not expect the doctors to treat them, rather than just rely on the power of prayer! However...they will still give thanks to god when the doctors save their lives!

They're profoundly ignorant, so ignorant in fact that they have no tools to gage how ignorant they are.
It's no wonder religion the world over is the greatest bastion of Dunning–Kruger effect.
Another word for faith is following your Gut.
That's what Trump's doing, objectively the greatest American tragedy in history is due to ignorance thinking it's better than the knowledge of career Generals, Scientist, and Doctors.
It's time to seek out the little Trump that lives in each of us and KILL it, before it kills us all.
