Unfortunately, a lot of people seem to think that an individual is either wholly intelligent or wholly non-intelligent, they don't see that intelligence is a continuum that applies to different things differently.  You can get some really smart people who believe in some really stupid things, from conspiracy theories to alien abductions to gods. Just because they are intelligent in some things, that doesn't mean they are intelligent in all things.  Just because they are rational in some things, that doesn't mean they are rational in all things.  Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, is an incredible brilliant man who goes entirely off the reservation when he says that finding a waterfall frozen into three parts proves there's a god.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
