So.... you're a religious Republican then?
I don't believe all religious people or all racists are stupid. That seems to be an untenable position. People tend to believe whatever reality they are presented with, even the smart ones. When they are old enough to think somewhat for themselves, then they start believing whatever it is they want to believe. A handful of genuises out there have a few original thoughts here and there, most of the rest of us are just parroting what someone else told us or wrote down in a book we read when we were a teenager and forming our opinions of the world.
If there's a correlation between education and a lack of faith that's unsurprising. An educated person who has retained any of his or her education is going to think more critically and question the reality they've been presented with. Or... the not too bright educated will end up parroting their professors who may be able to think more critically. Or to hear the faithful tell it... the evil liberal schools will have poisoned the minds of their students with secular nonsense. Any way you slice it, the correlation is not surprising.
I'm curious, though, how many of these studies were focused on intelligence and how many on education. The ones focused on intelligence, I wonder how they determined such a thing. The brief synopsis in the OP almost seems to take it for granted that these two very different things were one and the same.
