My sense is that IQ-based studies are pretty flawed to begin with (see this Malcolm Gladwell piece about IQ and race). They are measuring something, but not necessarily what they claim to measure. I would be much more interested in that finding if it came with a clearer sense of what the IQ test is really measuring—most likely, acculturation, certain kinds of test-taking abilities, etc.

Or rather, if you are more intelligent, you are more likely to be an atheist. So a choice (according to the nonsense data you used): either be an intelligent and unhealthy atheist, or a stupid and healthy believer.

Of course, it could be that both are nonsense…..
