I've got a list of studies dating back to the 1930s at home, I'll have to look it up, but you can always check out the University of Rochester meta-study that looks at 63 different studies done and comes to that conclusion. Anted up.

You don't have 63, but you do have an average of 63. I wish we could see more in your link than just the abstract so we might know if it meant anything.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to believe that intelligence was the deciding factor and I'm atheist because I'm a genius, or at least above average. But I don't believe it. Skepticism and intelligent are not the same thing. And intelligence can be used to rationalize all sorts of beliefs.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
