It's an interesting point, yet I personally believe that there is a link between ignorance and religion. That's not to say that I believe that all religious individuals are "stupid", but believing in a mythical creature proscribed by a book means that either (a) the person does not understand critical thinking, or (b) choses not to exercise it in respect to one or two things.

Some of the most "book smart" people I know are religious. I believe religion and intelligence co-existing in a brain only happens in one condition; b. In the case of b, they're well-educated individuals who understand how to think critically, and choose not to (for whatever reason).
