Atheist David Mann, M.D. wrote on being an atheist doctor in the [[United States]]:
{{Cquote|As an interventional electrophysiologist, I would meet with each patient’s family before and after every procedure. Not infrequently, one person from each group in the waiting room was introduced as “this is our pastor.” Usually, at some point, the pastor would suggest a round of prayer, and I was expected to participate, at least by bowing my head and maintaining a respectful silence. If the prayer was before the procedure, the primary focus was usually to make sure God guided my hand, and the outcome would be good. Prayers after the procedure usually focused on thanking God for safely getting the patient through the procedure and asking for a speedy recovery.
It was not a good time to bring up the fact that I was an atheist. So I just went along with it, only briefly and mildly discomforted. Religion gives strength and comfort to people in life and death situations that doctors often deal with. I rationalized that my silent participation was helping my patient and the family psychologically. Besides, how would they feel about my performing complicated heart procedures on their loved one if they thought I was an unbelieving heathen incapable of accepting God’s guiding hand?
It’s uncomfortable to be an atheist and a doctor, just as it uncomfortable in America to be an atheist in general.<ref>[https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2016/12/atheist-doctors-must-come-closet.html Atheist doctors must come out of the closet] by David Mann, M.D.</ref>}}

''Psychology Today'' indicates about American doctors:
{{Cquote|In a national poll of 1,100 physicians from different religious faiths, the physicians were asked whether they believed in miracles. Seventy-four percent believed miracles occurred in the past and 73 percent held the belief that miracles occur today (Poll: Doctors Believe in Miracles, 2004). Moreover, 72 percent of the physicians believed that religion is a “reliable and necessary guide to life.” (P. 1).<ref>[https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/emotional-nourishment/201712/do-you-believe-in-miracles Do You Believe in Miracles?], Psychology Today</ref>}}

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.
