AI synopsis
What people are saying
Participants variously highlighted that intercessory prayer does not aid recovery after surgery, with phrases like "prayer made no difference" and "patients who knew they were being prayed for had a higher rate of complications." This choice of language illustrates a tone of skepticism and disbelief, contributing to a collective sentiment that prayer lacks scientific merit in medical treatment.
The overwhelming majority of discussions reflect clear skepticism about the effectiveness of intercessory prayer, with many emphasizing that it has no measurable impact on health outcomes.
While many participants express some curiosity about the topic, this is often accompanied by broader criticism of its relevance and effectiveness.
Several discussions touch on the study's methodology and findings; however, most responses are dismissive or critical rather than in-depth.
There is a strong consensus among participants that the study's findings, suggesting that prayer may even worsen outcomes for those aware of receiving prayer, have significant implications for understanding the efficacy of prayer in health contexts.
Abstract in brief
- Intercessory prayer was studied to see if it aids recovery after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, but previous clinical trials do not show strong evidence supporting its benefits.
- In the study, patients were divided into three groups: those receiving prayer without certainty, those not receiving prayer with uncertainty, and those receiving prayer with certainty, over a 14-day period.
- Results indicated that intercessory prayer did not impact complication rates, but patients who were certain they received prayer had a higher rate of complications compared to those unsure about receiving prayer.

Fun fact The Study of the Therapeutic Effects of Intercessory Prayer (STEP) in 2006 found that people that knew they were being prayed for had experienced slightly worse outcomes after heart surgery compared to people that were not told.
Fun fact The Study of the Therapeutic Effects of Intercessory Prayer (STEP) in 2006 found that people that knew they were being prayed for had experienced slightly worse outcomes after heart surgery.
Magical thinking like that leads more often to suffering than anything good. There is a study that looked at heart patients who knew they were being prayed for, and they had worse outcomes than patients who did not have anyone that prayed for them. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16569567/

It is basically saying that prayers do not work - at least for medical care. Here is a statistical study of 1,802 people who underwent coronary bypass surgery that proved that prayer made absolutely no difference in their outcome. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16569567/

@alpozkilicmma There was 1 that found prayer didn't have an effect, of course it is the most famous, but also it didn't use anyone that believed in prayer. For fairness, I'll add it here. https://t.co/iwAOcIGgeU

@NPR @Thasmiel 2006 they already did a study and found out it does not help bypass patients. Don't expect any other outcome. "Study of the Therapeutic Effects of Intercessory Prayer (STEP) in Cardiac Bypass Patients" https://t.co/MrNUVR4IJJ
@NPR They'd done other studies on the role of intercessory prayer. All large, rigorous studies show either NO positive effect OR a negative effect (ie., god hates sick people). see 'Study of the Therapeutic Effects of Intercessory Prayer (STEP) in cardiac bypass patients..'
@daglover @AustinStevensMI @PastorJohnHagee Harvard professor Herbert Benson performed a "Study of the Therapeutic Effects of Intercessory Prayer (STEP)" in 2006. Groups 1 and 2 were informed they might or might not receive prayers, and only Group 1 did. Group 3 was informed they would receive prayers and did. ...
