As opposed to some studies where the evidence is not under-determined?
Is it just the studies on ethical ideology? or religiosity? or all social science studies? or all scientific studies in general?
I'm not convinced you know what you're talking about, and I don't know why you're continuing to try and sweepingly dismiss opposing evidence, based on nothing more than - but, but... we can never really know. Only my 'experience' knows.

What does Gandhi have to do with evidence showing that ethical
ideology (whether believing in objective or subjective morality) makes little difference to ethical
behaviour? Ethical behaviour is more emotionally-driven, and has far less to do with your ideology or beliefs about the objectivity of morality. Believe it or not, non-religious people experience emotion too, just the same.
