Extremely intelligent people are also agnostic / atheist by a disproportionate amount.
Not caused by intellect. Intelligent people have a higher social status, and any group considered "superior" by society is more likely to be atheist or agnostic. Men are more likely than women to be atheists. Whites are more likely than minorities, the rich are more likely than the poor, and so on.
It's because the "better" people (in the eyes of man) start buying into their own hype and replace God with themselves. It isn't even a modern Western phenomenon. There are plenty of examples of the kings of Israel and Judah getting swelled heads and ignoring God's directives.
