Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on faith healing across religious traditions, consulted 2026-08-11, the lower tier reflecting a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, useful for a broad comparative overview. NotesWikipedia's article on faith healing, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication and written from a more skeptical framing than this atlas's own neutral voice; used here narrowly for two documented facts presented neutrally rather than for its editorial framing, a 2004 Newsweek poll on belief in prayer's power to heal and the current spread of the practice across Pentecostal, Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican and other Christian and non-Christian contexts, and for the count of U.S. states permitting a religious exemption to child neglect statutes, a legal fact rather than a moral judgment.
