OK, I'll come right out and say it, the social sciences and their related fields in the alleged behavioral and cognitive sciences are dominated by atheist ideologues who permit the crappiest junk to be published as science when it supports their ideological campaign against religion. And there is a large segment of the media which, in total ignorance of science, will promote those studies because they share that ideological agenda. The sloppy methods permitted by those inside those fields are an open invitation to do bad science and dishonest science to yield the results you wanted to start with.
I would call for there to be a lot more hard and honest evaluation of those studies because many of them violate statistical methods, especially in sampling but also in methods, they also have methodologies that can only be made to support their asserted results by the most tenuous of logic, and often not by anything other than the assertions of the people conducting the studies. It is crap science, it is worse than alchemy, the alchemists at least produced something you could see and evaluate - when they weren't practicing a similar form of fraud, they inserting gold into their cauldron. Their modern day equivalent doesn't even have to do that, they can use fools gold and the rubes of the media will believe it's the real thing.
