“And the results are striking. One study reported that participants who had their belief in free will diminished were more likely to cheat in a maths test. In another, US psychologists reported that people who read Crick’s thoughts on free will said they were less likely to help others.”

This article says nothing about whether the people testing believed in God. I bet that there wouldn’t be much change if people believed that a god was watching them. So there’s more variables to consider.
