    So you’re saying that their being stupid is more likely to cause them to be Muslim?

      That’s the wrong order. Out of people born into Muslim or religious households, there is likely an even distribution of intelligent to stupid. Then the smart people self select out of religion leaving a disproportionate amount of stupid people in religions. So lack of intelligence doesn’t cause religion. Having intelligence can be a cause for people to leave religion.

        So you’re saying their being Muslim does have to do with their being stupid – or at least their continuing to be Muslim does.

            But see, if it was about religion generally, wouldn’t we expect to see a similar trend across all religious people?

              We do see that trend across all religions. Unless you wanted to count some of the “anti-religions” like Pastafarianism or The Church of Satan.

                  I was still referring to the stupid v religious correlation. There can be other factors causing the religious vote to sway.

                    So then it sounds like we agree – the reason for seeing an increase in Muslims voting for Trump is more nuanced than just a general rise in stupidity across humanity.
