Also this isn't terribly surprising, as other data has shown many times over that devoutly religious people aren't very smart, and less intelligent people are typically happier.

It's not that they're less intelligent. I used to kind of think that, but now I believe their brains have just been corrupted via indoctrination to have a blind spot that allows them to view reality through a lens that circumvents critical thought. I think the intelligent ones can be unindoctrinated if they allow themselves out of the insulated bubble that reinforces the indoctrination, but yeah, the simpleton-type ones will always believe the nonsense and maybe that allows them to sort of exist in an ignorance-is-bliss state.
