The overlap between what people believe is moral and what they believe is effective is probably worth another essay

Yes, this occurs for so many people over all sorts of beliefs, when there's no good reason for their to be much of a correlation at all (I suppose some form of divine command theory theist could argue that God has made the world so that correct morals also give practically the best results.)
