The study is bullcrap on its face since intelligence by itself won't make you faith free.  AND I know plenty of quite intelligent faithful too...
 
As my yoga guru (Behram Yogi-Raj - a rather serious proponent of yoga for sure) maintained: "Stupid People Don't Need Yoga".
 
What he was drivng at was those with lesser IQ DON'T EVEN BOTHER considering the potentialities of a unknown future.  
 
They don't worry...so don't need yoga!
 
wholely holey holy explanation (copyright FRISH) works just fine, even keeps the questions from coming up!
 
Faith is belief without reason, hence atheists and diests agree:
 
"There's No Reason For God" (Copyright FRISH) 
 
Consider: how stupid will we look after we die and find they were right after all?!?!?
JOKE! 
 
So, here's a question:
I'm wondering how my ex-spouse and my prior (coincident (sorry, again, dear)) and subsequent sex partners will get along with me in heaven...and how old will we be there?
 
See what I mean...there's something one can ONLY worry about, and do yoga to cure!
 
The actual takeaway of the article: "Brains are a curse!"
