intelligent they seem to be. This isn't a slam, as I'm a Christian, but I do find that the less intelligent one seems to be, the less they are able to reason on issues of faith.

As you are a Christian you should know that God does not require faith to be blind. The mind should be cultivated and we are to love our God with all of our mind.
Intelligence does have to do with being able to reason - but that is an ability that is given to us, and then grown by us.
Faith comes through knowing. However, we should also not prize intelligence and knowledge over faith... it is more important to believe than to know all the details of every fact.

Those are some results I wouldn't be interested in seeing.
I do know more poor people are Christian and a majority of those are probably going to a crummy public school (if they go to school), so they might not get as good of a test score as say, a Hindu who goes to an Ivy League college.

Being a Christian has nothing to do with intelligence.
God has chosen the foolish things to confound the wise.
I am a Christian who happens to be very intelligent.
Not all Christians are smart and not all Christians are dumb.
God has called all people to accept the Gospel!

See if your theory can explain this little work, by a fellow who is one of history's greatest theologians and scholars, as well as man of extraordinary faith.

God is not impressed with our IQ's or our PHD's. Compared to God, Einstein would be considered an idiot.
