Well, the extremists...
...the ones who prefer praying over their sick children rather than letting them receive modern medicine...yes.

There was some guy in the news recently who used to pray on children in hospital.

There was a lovely study on prayer in hospital, commissioned by some religious group

After a properly controlled independent study, they were handed the following results:

1) People who were prayed for and didn't know about it recovered no quicker than people who weren't prayed for.

2) People who were prayed for and DID know about it took LONGER to recover than those who weren't prayed for.

They didn't publicise the results heavily.

Use of the scientific method must have invoked Satan.
Rookie mistake, really.
