It would be a pretty bad investment considering studies of this already exist and are almost universally ignored. I also think you should say what you mean, where what you clearly want is a National Institute of Atheism.
I think people should refrain from thinking they can tell what I clearly want from what I say, as their error rate is high. You assume that I want an institute that will reach a foreordained conclusion, rather than one that will try to find correct answers. I hope you are in this case wrong.
I think you already think you know the correct answers. The institution’s only purpose will be to add legitimacy to what you think you already know, so you can point to it and have others listen. I highly doubt you think there is any chance of the institute finding that praying to thor heals the blind while praying to jesus heals lepers, or whatever other possible result you can think of.
