I hope I am doing this correctly. Zuckerman did a larger meta-analysis that he published in October 2019 addressing some of the previous methodological shortcomings. I've written on this in a new blog post, "Are religious people dumber?" in which I contend that the result may be valid but meaningless. Just let me know if you'd like to incorporate any of what I wrote. I won't edit it myself. Sjwilling (talk) 19:41, 16 February 2020 (EST)
