The ''University of Chicago Chronicle'' reported in 2005:
{{Cquote|The first study of physician religious beliefs has found that 76 percent of doctors believe in [[God]] and 59 percent believe in some sort of afterlife. The survey, performed by researchers at the University and published in the July issue of the Journal of General Internal Medicine, found that 90 percent of doctors in the United States attend religious services at least occasionally, compared to 81 percent of all adults. Fifty-five percent of doctors say their religious beliefs influence how they practice medicine.<ref>[http://chronicle.uchicago.edu/050714/doctorsfaith.shtml Survey on physicians’ religious beliefs shows majority faithful ], ''University of Chicago Chronicle''</ref>}}
