Is it about determinism?

People who believe in non-deterministic free will are more likely to one-box than those who don't, in the philpapers survey.

Or about plausibility of a higher intelligence?

This is consistent with the data, although I don't know that I'd put a lot of weight on it (and the libertarianism correlation above might come from the bundling of libertarianism about will with religion).
