When you believe that you are not alone, that God is with you, then you have more of everything, including intelligence, that you can rely on. It is what you do with what you have been given that makes a successful life.
Intelligence Quotient is a score that contrasts your reasoning ability to a norm for your age. You can become more intelligent but may not actually attain a higher score as you age. So, your beliefs don't affect your IQ score.

I believe your IQ is based on your knowledge of facts; of some trivia; your ability to use logic and also your ability to see correlation. That requires a mind that is open to possibilities.... Your curiousity and your belief that there are things you are yet to discover opens up to the world of the unknown. That's where your belief and faith come into play....and there are a multitude of belief systems...organized and freewheeling. Unless you are open minded, you are living in fear. You will never take the steps needed for growth. So my answer is that unless you have an open mind you cannot have a great IQ.

It has nothing to do with your IQ.
I think how your life has played out and your own personal experiences affect what you believe.

I am not sure that one effects the other......
Many who do not believe are highly intelligent but ....Religion and mans perversion of what that means shatters sensibilities......and makes those people able to spill the blood of their countrymen and that of their surrounding countries......Cruelty is not intelligence..And it is perverse to think the Lord would approve.......
This is a stimulating question .thanks for the opportunity to answer.......

No, unless you don't follow logic because God isn't logical.
