It's not really useful information unless it shows why there is such a correlation. Personally I think it's because there is also a relationship between higher intelligence and increased non-conformity.
A lot of people think that therefore they come across as intelligent if they are atheists, non-conformists, or both. However, that line of thinking shows you're not all that smart to begin with, because then you are mixing up causes with effects.
