What else would make a person stupid other than believing in something stupid?
Normally I'd agree, but when the subject is religion I don't think this argument applies. I know many very intelligent people who are religious. This is likely because religion is rooted in something irrational, which is our innate fear of death and the unknown. Religion gives people answers and some comfort regarding questions that are otherwise, at least for the present, unanswerable.
