How do you guys feel when someone says "Thank the Lord/Allah/God/etc." After, say, a surgery.

Don't even care.
I am personally agnostic, but who's to say that patient isn't thanking their deity for gifting them with a good doctor/surgeon? I vaguely remember a passage about the lord helping those who help themselves. They might be idiots, or they might not. My job is to keep em alive. For everything else, chaplain services is on call.
If it helps them, it helps them. I only get a little bit internally judgey when it’s a healthcare provider saying it. I find it way more cringey tho when I’ve seen doctors/nurses say actually it was me/us/your doctor/medicine, like let the patient have it.
Ngl I always find it weird when ppl ask me to pray.
Whatever gets a person through their day. Now the problem starts when some asks me to thank god or pray or whatever.
