Of course it isn't that simple. They don't start off neutral, learn there is a god that explains everything and then opt in. It's almost always the case that they have been co-opted from birth, get used to having god around and then defend that notion wherever they find it threatened. It doesn't require a failure of intelligence to believe in god, but a fundamentalist belief most likely does whittle it down over time.
