Neither Madalyn Murray O’Hair nor the American Atheists organization ever built a hospital.

The article ''My mother: the most hated woman in America: Interview with [[William J. Murray]]'' declares:
{{Cquote|In 1979, William had an idea to help get rid of his mother’s reputation as the most hated woman in America.
He told her of a hospital which desperately needed new equipment. He suggested she buy the equipment and put a plaque on it saying, ‘A gift from Madalyn Murray O’Hair—atheist.’
‘I told her we’d call a news conference and get the story publicized all over the United States. Then people would say she’s not such a bad old gal after all.’
She fumed. ‘She said, “Why would I want to take perfectly good money and use it to buy hospital equipment? I could use that money to file lawsuits to bar pastors, priests and rabbis from being allowed to go into hospitals.”’<ref>[ My mother: the most hated woman in America: Interview with William J. Murray] by Robert Doolan</ref>}}
