→Atheism and cancer
Some atheist (or at the very least someone who appeared to be an atheist) claimed an [[Atheism and cancer]] article was created in the past at this wiki. Yet, when I did a search using the search box, I found no record of such an article being created at this wiki.

Given what I know about [[Atheism and health]] and [[Global atheism and aging populations]], I suspected there was a positive correlation between atheism and cancer. And lo and behold, there is! [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 15:03, 22 December 2017 (EST)

By the way, you might find this to be interesting:
According to the American Cancer Society:
"According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 69% of cancer patients say they pray for their health. A recent study published in Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, suggests a link between religious or spiritual beliefs and better physical health reported among patients with cancer."[42
The Christian apologist Gary Habermas wrote: "Double-blind prayer experiments: where people pray for others with terminal illness. Habermas admitted that most such experiments have not worked, but the three that he knows of that have indeed worked were cases of orthodox-Christians praying for the sick."[43]
