Don't try to say that people who are religious are unintelligent, when you can't even be bothered to look at the statistics and instead choose to jump to your own conclusions.

I wonder what % of the 20% of winners were practicing Jews or simply Jewish in a cultural capacity?
Doesn't really matter I suppose, you are correct in that intelligence isnt measured by religious capacity, but I would think that the vast vast majority of scientists are not theistic in any way. Hard to rationalize our world as a scientist from the perspective of sheep herders 2000+ years ago.
