There is no corollation between intelligence and religous belief.

Yes there is. The more intellegent people are, the less likely they are to be religious. Pointers to plenty of studies that show this can be found here. The fact that there are indeed famous intelligent and religious people is not a proof of the contrary (as any intelligent person will know :-).

Besides, when refering to people like Da Vinci, one has to take into account the society that they lived in and the corresponding education that they recieved.
