Such as all those who go to Lourdes, expecting a cure?  Carl Sagan 
looked at the number of "miracles" recognized by the Catholic church and 
found they were lower than the natural remission rate for the various 
diseases.  He also pointed out that you were more likely to die 
traveling to or from Lourdes, than to be cured.  There are many other 
examples, where religious belief causes people to forgo proper medical care.
