I read years ago, and I can't cite the study, but the finding was that atheists and theists did about the same on most parts of an IQ test. For what it's worth, most of the difference came from parts of the IQ test related to accurately estimating things, like which or whether one of two lines is longer than the other.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
