[[MSNBC]] reported concerning United States doctors:
In the survey of 1,044 doctors nationwide, 76 percent said they believe in God, 59 percent said they believe in some sort of afterlife, and 55 percent said their religious beliefs influence how they practice medicine.<ref>[http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8318894/ns/health-health_care/t/survey-most-doctors-believe-god-afterlife/#.Tk1AMV39z08 Survey: Most doctors believe in God, afterlife ]</ref>}}
Even though many hospitals do not actively push a religious viewpoint on their patients and staff, almost all of them were funded and founded by those whose faith and religious beliefs pushed them to help those in need.
