Another child has died because prayer doesn’t work.
It doesn’t matter how nice you are or how liberal your faith, if your position is that irrationality under the banner of faith is acceptable, you are wrong. Period. The same faith that lets you believe Jesus rose from the dead is what lets others believe that prayer heals the sick. Irrationality is not only irresponsible when it kills someone just like drunk driving is not responsible just because you made it home safely. If you are spreading the idea that unreason is acceptable or good, then you are gambling with our good intentions.
Prayer is neglect without the shame.
