I'm with you except for doubting their intellect. I think a person can be incredibly smart and still be religious. Religion provides comfort and community to some people. Some people also like structure, rules. For some, it seems to be a hobby. I think these people can separate this irrational interest from the rational side of their brain in which they do their important thinking.
