I got the answers correct; not going to bother posting and spoilering

Are the authors implying that religious people are unintelligent? No. The authors insist that they take no position on whether intuitive or analytical decision-making is the superior mode...

No, YOU are making the relationship that, "getting these questions right = intelligence". The data says, "people who get these questions right tend to be less religious." It does not make the claim that the questions represent an intelligence test.

Studies show that people who claim to have all the answers without posting and spoilering tend to be more religious because they expect people to take things on faith.
