It would seem they are avoiding things known to get negative results:
If they wanted negative (or null) results for a religious study, why don't they study the effectiveness of exorcisms on people who claim to be demonically possessed. Then you could compare the priests' results with those of some good anti-psychotic drugs. (that could make exorcists look bad -- or really good.)
Why not do a study on how effective faith healers are? James Randi once investigated them... perhaps they know that and avoid it for that reason?
