True for the most part, but even really smart people can be extremely irrational. The main reason being that the smarter you are, the better you are at rationalizing things.

Yeah, I just avoid talking about religion or politics around them because that's when they throw their smartness out of door.

I know plenty of older religious people who have conventional wisdom.

I think it should be stated that intelligence doesn't necessarily equate to having common sense either.

Do I know intelligent religious people? Yes, many in my family I would consider fairly intelligent and most are religious. Most of them are very open minded as well, and accepting of new ideas.

Even the annoying religious fanatics I do know though are still less insufferable than the reddit/online atheists.

Anyone can parrot back statistics or post links to them

But trying to prove the existence of an entity that is commonly known not to physically exist or have any proof (*proof that satisfies science aficionados anyways). Youd have to be a genius to solve out that riddle

I had a friend growing up that was pretty smart, but super religious. He had some pretty bad takes politically, and often acted superior to other people. He wasn't a bad guy, but he had his flaws.

Yeah it depends on what you mean by "super religious". Fundamentalist fanatics? No, and I don't think you will find many. Very smart but also quite religious? Yes, plenty.

I've actually attended religious services with no less than two of my professors, and I'm pretty sure that some others were quite religious people, too.

Mmhmm. I actually have met some very, very religious people that are still not complete idiots.

I think that intelligence doesn't correlate so much with your beliefs but rather with what your beliefs entail. For example I believe abortion is wrong, largely on what people would call religious reasons. But I know much better than to think that means I should vote for Trump. Or practically any Republican.

Personally, not really. They can exist, but they are really hurting their upside by wasting time with religion.

Theres a guy who won a Nobel prize for his work on the link between the HIV virus and AIDS who became an anti-Vaxxer. I knew a relatively intelligent Jewish dude who joined a literal red laced Doc Martins, shaved head neo-Nazi gang. Anythings possible.
