Why don't you ask this question of all the presidential candidates? They all claim Christianity.
So how dumb do you have to be to believe that you are actually intelligent? This question answers that question, doesn't it?

I don't think dumb is the right word, there are many apparently intelligent Christians, whatever intelligent is.
I do not think there are many recognised great minds, Einstein for instance, that believe in an external personal God as actualy existing.
I think it probably helps to not have an enquiring mind, if you wish to sustain fundamental Christianity.

One needn't be dumb nor need they be wise to know God.
Many Christians have extremely high IQ's some are not intelligent at all. The same applies to all faiths and those without faith. It is not by our wisdom we know God but by God's revelation. God's truth is available to all.

Not at all. There are some intelligent christians. What you need is the desire to search for something better, and to give up that desire when you find something that vaguely fits that desire.
The same is true for all religions.

OK. I'm gonna ask YOU a question.. How dumb do YOU have to be to NOT believe in Christianity?
I mean, come on! God is great! He answers prayer! He sent his son to DIE for our sins! Do you know ANYBODY who does that? He's going to come back one day and take us to Heaven to live eternally in paradise! How do you live without God?

Well, I'm a Christian and my I.Q. is good enough to qualify me for Mensa. Can you say the same?

Well, scientific studies do show the relationship between religion and lack of intelligence: http://kspark.kaist.ac.kr/Jesus/Intelligence%20&%20religion.htm
