The study participants were all Christian seminary and theology students, of mainline protestant denominations. The study was run by an ordained minister (and doctor!) who was pursuing his PhD. Permission was granted to use marsh chapel by howard thurman, who (i hope) needs no introduction.
A statistically unlikely high percentage of study participants were subsequently ordained, and described the experiment as a spiritually significant / formative experience. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_Chapel_Experiment#Doblin's_follow-up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_Chapel_Experiment#Doblin... and linked citations )
I don't think your objections hold water.
