Dimwits see religions as truth because the philosophy resonates with the fundamental experiences in their lives. The more they follow the dogma, things usually get better. To a dimwit, 60% success rate is good enough to stay happy.
Average Joes see religion as not quite as important, they focus on what's in front of them and decide a life for themselves that is realistically within their grasp. Average joes are usually too busy improving their lives or enjoying life to bother with something he won't have an answer to until he's dead. Why bother?
Midwits are your typical leftist aethiestcel. They see the Higher IQ people focusing on the esoteric without bias and emotional attachment, without following dogma and perverts it. A midwit sees belief without dogma and interprets that as "God is bad because smart man no believe!". When in reality that is not always the case.
High IQ individuals are just that in their beliefs, individuals. There is no dogma because there is no core attachment. They know there is likely more than we can sense because they know there is plenty of real phenomenon in this universe already that we cannot detect. The high IQ may say God is dead, but the meaning behind it is lost to those who don't interact with the primary source. That's what keeps the High IQ person in check, they don't read others thoughts on a subject and leave the inquiry at that, they seek the primary source and draw their own conclusions from understanding.
The midwit gets his sources from others who tell him what the primary source says. The midwit only see the world through the bias of others. Midwits operate on secondary and tertiary sources. Imagine viewing the world from only the stories you heard from someone who heard it from someone else!
I guess my rambling is to ask you, which kind of "wit" do you want to be?
They can be twisted easily by people and if you expose it, you are immediately "the enemy" because monotheistic religion encourages simplistic, black-and-white thinking.

The world is full of peril, to not be prepared to defend yourself is a fools errand.
This is mentioned in parts of the Bible all throughout in many different stories.
They refuse to be fear-mongered into believing a falsehood, while you try to equate that to the reality of our world.
Stop playing these stupid false equivalency cards, it's not going to work here.

There is no such thing as an atheist society in the current day. Every attempt at it has resulted in horrible atrocities.
I'm sorry you've had bad experiences with someone in a spiritual context. However, denying the obvious utilitarian value of religion is silly.
