I think finding a link between religious belief and IQ is false dichotomy.

Being intelligent doesn’t mean you are rational. Look at Bobby Fischer.

There is something about Chess champions and sanity. Lots of them come up bonkers after a few years of glory.

“I think finding a link between religious belief and IQ is false dichotomy.” Say that again?? Your thought contradicts itself.

Ted Kaczynski, aka, the “Unabomber” comes to mind. A PHD mathmatician, who flipped out, started living like a hermit, and blowing up buildings. But did he flip out? Who knows what evil looks in the heart of men? Only The shadow knows.
