A belief in god can give some people hope. Hope combined with medical care can be enough to turn a person's ailment around.
Most doctors would agree that a positive mental attitude can do wonders for a patient. Hope can give some people that positive mental attitude.
It is only when patients concentrate on the hope and neglect the medical sciences that is disturbing.
