None of the doctors I've known have been overtly religious. None of my small sample of 3 that I know personally are religious. A quick search and everything about it seems to link back to one survey of US doctors in 2005.
The US is a very religious country compared to where I live, and it got me wondering if maybe the relationship is inverse - you're more likely to become a doctor if you're from a religious background. After all, it's a very well respected career and as Father Ted stated, the intelligent child would go off to train as a doctor and the stupid one would become a priest "your brother's a doctor isn't he Ted?"
