I don't think he said religion makes you stupid. I think he said some churches function as a tool to justify and enforce the opinions of those who shaped them.
Generally I am in favour of religion but rather less keen on churches. Religion is about your relationship with God and how that shapes you and your actions. The church is about someone else's opinion on God and how you should shape your behaviour.
