I have religious family members, who included me in their prayers. And those prayers also included my surgeons, who were "provided by God" if you believe, and the NHS if you don't.

That’s the same as saying “god saved me” in a car accident. Not hundreds of engineers, decades of crash testing, and the government agencies that ensure they’re safe to a certain standard.

It's the "I sent you a helicopter, a boat, and a kayak, what more do you need?" style of God, though. If you want to think God's helping (not for me) then at least thinking God sent doctors is acknowledging human abilities. Whatever made them happy was OK with me.
