When a person with great ability hears about religion
He practises it assiduously;
When a person with average ability hears about religion
It seems to him there one moment and gone the next;
When a person with little or no ability hears about religion
He laughs out loud.

Nope, I don't think this is true. They have done studies and found that people who are extremely religious usually have lower IQ's than people who are not as religious. This is from wikipedia:
1. sixteen studies of the correlation between individual measures of student intelligence and religiosity, all but three of which reported an inverse correlation.
2. five studies reporting that student bodies with high average IQ and/or SAT scores are far less religious than lower-scoring student bodies;
3. three studies reporting that geniuses (IQ 3+ standard deviations above average) are much less religious than the general public;
4. seven studies reporting that highly successful persons are much less religious in belief than are others; and
5. eight old and four new Gallup polls revealing that college alumni (average IQ about one standard deviation above average) are much less religious in belief than are grade-school pollees.

No the way I always thought it was in my personal experience has been that people with little or no ability admire religion and see it as out of reach, a person with average ability will aim higher and a person with great ability will feel comfortable in their status.

When one hears about religion and did not follow it at all, but invent and reinvent that religion to his personal life; a person has great ability.
-God gave us brains to think!
When one hears about religion and did not follow it blindly without question, and practices it assiduously; a person has average ability.
-God gave us choices!
When one hears about religion and will follow it blindly without questions; a person with little or no ability.
-If you belong here.... you will miss out on the narrow way and what if the religious sect you so blindly follows without questions is not God's chosen?

How about:
When a person with a very little brain hears about religion
He practices it assiduously
When a person with average brain hears about religion
It seems to him a rather silly thing
When a person with any sort of intelligence hears about religion
He recognizes it for the fairy-story it is

How does this question affect you whether its true or not?? And why judge people through abilities or smartness??? When God made us... we are all good at different things! Some will be more of a follower (who follow the teachings of others)... others natural born leaders (who invented the different congregation or types of religion you follow)!!!

What ability are you talking about? The ability to hate and differentiate from people whose beliefs do not concur with yours. In that case yes

hey you
what do you mean when you use 'abilities'? intelligence? know how?? smartness?
coz your question rests on this... you mean that the more clever people are the more assiduous and religious they feel? my answer as a very religious person: I don't think so

No. That is rubbish. Any sane person hearing about religion for the first time would probably ask too many awkward questions.

Faith in your religion depends on your heart and your willingness to dedicate your life to God, not on your "ability" to do something.
We're all "able" to believe in God. Whether we show it through our actions is entirely different, though.
