I like how in an article written by a liberal acknowledging how condescending the media can be to conservatives, there is a propagation of the myth that in the Middle Ages people thought sickness and demonic possession were the same thing. In fact, the Middle Ages had physicians, nurses, hospitals, and medicine. Not as advanced as ours, but modern medicine didn't just spring up from nowhere. See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_hospitals#Medieval_Europe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_hospitals#Medieval_... - there were hospitals, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_medicine_of_Western_Europe#Monasteries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_medicine_of_Western_E... - medicine certainly involved prayer, but also involved experimenting with different materials to relieve physical symptoms.
