yes, placebo effect et cetera. i would be skeptical about homeopathy if not the many cases in which it clearly seemed to help that i have witnessed, and a few doctors and vets i respect that rely on it.
that being said, the correlation between beliefs and reality is an interesting topic, and i can only imagine how praying to a deity helps to someone who believes in it.
