This sort of confirms the studies. You are worried about being wrong so much. Suppose morality is objective and subjective, and subjective is judged through the objective. Suppose we have free-will. Would've been better to stick to our intuition of morality and free-will, even if there was no analytical proof of them...or only act upon them and believe in them, if we have analytical proof of them or evidence of them?
How much of humanity has analytical proof of free-will, human rights or morality?
Analytically, we can't prove there is such a thing as praiseworthy unless you can to accept properly basic beliefs, that are on intuition alone.

I watched in on the "Atheist experience". It's a radio channel thing, they have callers. I watched a while ago. I don't recall the exact one.
I'm not arguing for either side.
I am looking at from an agnostic perspective. If God doesn't exist, it's already obvious which method works best.

I'm willing to entertain possibilities...so that arguments for and against theism can better be realized.
One of those is "Why don't Atheists believe/know God exists, if God is known to believers via faith?" (rhetorical)
