The afirmation that atheists are more intelligent than religious persons derives from personal experience of most of us.
However there are a lot of high educated people ,professors ,scientists ,
even Nobel Prize winners who believe in God whether as theists or creationists or are even religion practicants.
I never understood how you can be a scientist and in the same time visit religiouos cult institutions.
The problem is that the our mind is a complicated machine which is
operating physical processes often not fully understandable through reasonable causal thinking.
The contradiction in the mind of the religious scientist might have a simple psychological or social or economical explanation but might be also not understandable to the person himself.
My conclusion is tough beware of arrogance of the style :we are the brights they are the stupid.
The afirmation of such a kind does not prove of excess of brightness
