I'll say first off that there are some insanely intelligent theists out there, but I doubt what you're saying is true as far as the overall population goes.
However, how I honestly feel overall, is that theists aren't fully in reality. They talk to themselves in their minds while thinking they're talking to an invisible friend in the sky. They think this invisible deity is actually HELPING THEM in this reality! To be honest, I feel that is incredible stupid. I used to do this, and consider myself incredibly stupid for doing it, but many people who have never questioned their beliefs and are so immersed in their beliefs and hear no other side to the story can grow up believing it, and can be considered intelligent people. Although, I base intelligence off of common sense more so, so I think most theists are a bit out there, to say the least. I think almost anyone can pick up books and read them, and gain vast amounts of knowledge, but when it comes to intelligence, I like to think its the person's critical thinking skills, their skepticism, street smarts, and common sense more than their book-smarts. That's just my opinion. I think most of the theists on here that have been spoon-fed logic and facts that contradict their own fairy tale land, that they have created in their minds, are stupid on many levels. They can't comprehend the most simple shit placed right in front of them. It's either stupid, or an immense amount of close-mindedness, stubbornness, and so on (but there's definitely some level of stupid in there if they're an adult without a true mental handicap).

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
