By types do you mean people? I don't think being religious automatically makes someone stupid. However, there are a lot of stupid people who profess religion. It's hard not to notice the connection.

Yeah. It's an unfortunate coincidence. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that we live in a post-enlightenment global community. The masses of the religious right, or as Scott Peck refers to them, the "Stage 2ers", amalgamate towards the dogmatic and would probably be better off if they kept their mouths shut. On the other hand, I think a lot of intelligent people proscribe religion becuase they fear the cost of sacrificing their individuality, which I understand. I mean no oversimplification, however. This is the age of the individual.
