As for some people being more likely to say softball prayers, that would be a good reason to weight the three categories equally, because we need to adjust for that. And different levels of likelihood-to-perceive-events-as-spritual-experiences.
Why suppose these differences manifest within religions as different frequencies in prayer answerings, but not between religions?
A cursory search didn’t reveal any applicable data, which is why I said in the first place that I didn’t think the matter had been studied before. Better to admit we don’t know, and if possible conduct the research, than pretend we have an answer based on poor or tenuously related data.
