I think that studies on the supposed effects of prayer, if they are conducted properly, don't have to address the question of god/s at all. The goal of science is to remove ambiguity in order to focus in on probable causes. It's the act pf praying and the effects claimed for it that should be under scrutiny. Investigation into the mechanism comes later.
