There are people out there who only believe in God because they feel it is the "normal" thing to do. This is intellectual laziness, and yes, kinda stupid. But I think for most of us, due to our life experiences or for whatever other reason, it really does just make more sense to us for God to be real. I don't think this makes someone stupid or uneducated.
Consider the lunatic Scientologists. They know full well that their system is complete BS and that it was started as pure BS. But they still believe in it. The same is true for all religions throughout history. It's an obvious sign that people are mentally ill. It's easier to overcome stupidity than it is to overcome lunacy.
