I have a grade school/HS friend that was very religious all though elementary and HS, and still is, that became a Doctor that specializes in neurological disorders.

Many others that I would consider extremely smart and religious, but not extremely religious.

I dont know many people whore religious, but my old pastor and his wife (also now a pastor at the same church) are both objectively brilliant people.
And objectively lovely people, to boot. Liberal Protestant denominations like the UCC tend to be pretty good.

Most of the great philosophers throughout history were either devout followers of a religion or even held high positions within a religion.

Do I know any personally? I don't really know anyone personally.

I consider learning the Torah an intellect. (supposed to be the hardest language in the world to learn.)

also i don't really believe there's a correlation with spiritualisn and lack of intelligence.in fact, i think it's nothing more than mere prejudice.

athiests wanting to call themselves smarter is pure tribalism. there's basically an atheistreligion now.

there is a compartment in our brain geared for spiritualism, and some just may have it stronger than some of us/others

Kind of. She went to medical school but struggled to work as a doctor because she wanted to proselytize to her patients.

Maybe the smarter people are from families who are more strict and therefore more religious and cultural? Their kids end up doing better academically because of that. I know for a fact as an asian all our parents want us to be are doctors and lawyers.
