Per my own anecdata in the US, MDs are a pretty diverse group of people in regards to faith. The 'calling' of being a doctor/healer is strong among many faith based communities in the US. As such, their reasoning for being an MD is not based on science as much as it is on their faith and purpose. The point is to be a doctor/healer, how the knowledge to better do so is generated may be incidental.
