Firstly, I don't see what religion has to do with intelligence. You can't confirm whether a god exists or not, so why do you think believing in one is dumb? I say this as someone who isn't religious btw.
Secondly, Jordan Peterson isn't exceedingly bright. He just mixes basic self-help ideas like "clean your room" with batshit insane ramblings about how everyone he doesn't like is a Marxist or whatever.
On average, atheists have higher IQs than religious people.
There have been many studies about this. For example, http://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/wp-content/uploads/The-Relation-Between-Intelligence-and-Religiosity-A-Meta-Analysis-and-Some-Proposed-Explanations.pdf
Religion has a lot to do with intelligence because some make no sense. Its a theory about the past and how probable it is reflects the state of mind of the person. If I say I think the earth was created a previous incarnation of jon cena, people would say I was dumb, or at least dumber than they thought before for thinking that.
Why do some highly intelligent believe in god

He's just the L. Ron Hubbard of today.

I completely agree with you. It sucks that it's the perception that those who belive in God must also be anti science.
