Religion usually makes for uncritical thinking, because that is part of both its method and agenda: you shall not critically analyse and test and find out yourself - you should blindly believe, that is the deal. refusing to demand evidence and reasonable checks and questions, is declared a virtue. In reality it is circumcision done to the brain.
This guy talks of intelligence, maybe the word is being used in a slightly different and wider meaning in English than in German, but if replacing "intelligence" with "education" for sure, he surely has a very valid point in his observation - one only needs to look at the debates on religion and believing in this forum

Logic reveals the flaws in religion, that is why reglion is do deeply anti-intellectual, and the natural antidot to dogmatic believing is education. It does not really need a professor to tell you that, eh?
