Or is he or she still the same stupid person he or she was before only without religion?
** OR **
Did he or she have a decent IQ all along and that is what led to him or her losing faith?

Their IQ doesn't go up, their willingness to use their IQ goes up.
The willful suspension of disbelief (i.e. faith) causes people to deny their own intelligence which limits their intellectual capability.

answer: Only Unitarian or Quaker would be an option. There's just so much about Christianity that I don't believe or agree with, including Jesus. I'd rather go with Judaism if I went back to a monotheism religion.

No, I think the person's IQ stays the same.
What it means is that the person has given up trying to understand God. A person can have an above average intelligence, but if he or she does not use that gift, it does that person no good.

Correlation is not causation. A person's IQ would stay the same whether he or she became agnostic, atheist, Christian, Muslim, etc.

Youre assuming that you have to have a low IQ to be a Christian and I think that couldnt be farther from the truth.

Weak people need FAITH to sustain their lives. the world is not a pleasant place but if you have faith you can think it will get better some day when you die.

My intelligence is unquestioned.
As is my faith.
