Actually it's way worse than that. Emotional reasoning affects people of all I.Q.s, they can be completely able to make rational decisions as long as they are not emotionally invested in it. As soon as it is something emotional, their reasoning goes to shit. The more intelligent they are, the better they are at defending the emotional position to themselves. And no, this isn't a false equivalence argument , there is a ton of evidence that the right wing are way worse, plus fox etc use it deliberately and always lead with something fear or anger inducing so they can get their bullshit in while logic is effectively switched off.

Actually the whole "HUMANITY IS FUKIN RETARDED" is quite wrong. Belief in supernatural is also caused by the fact that we are very intelligent, intelligent enough to come up with all kinds of excuses. I put How We Know What Isn'T So on my reading list to study this further.
TLDR; Religiosity is caused by high irrationality not low intelligence.
