Religion makes many people stupid because they don't want to get educated on, let's say, evolution or history or whatever because they are in a bubble created by religion.
Now, there are some smart people who believe in God, but the moment they start speaking about God, they sound stupid. Which means that religion makes even smart people sound stupid.
For example, I already talked about a video in which the famed Dr. Francis S. Collins talks about objective morality. Pretty much everything he said in that video is stupid and uninformed.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
