He was claiming the opposite: if we were more intelligent, then we would not have use for a God hypothesis.
Not even that... the God hypothesis aside, religions are full of things that make absolutely zero sense.
Regardless of whenever there is or isn't God (or Gods), it is pretty insane to e.g. kill a blood relative for good luck. That kind of thing. Not even the God hypothesis. The extreme gullibility. If you are being bombarded by extremely insane propaganda all your life, you will be affected no matter how smart you are. But you don't need to be so much affected as to preserve this insanity over the generations or evolve this insanity to even greater levels. If each next generation is even a little bit less religious, the religion just decays.
