Formal logic isn't subjective... There is no "depends on the person" there. Rigid faith is fundamentally, objectively, illogical in several ways... No matter which faith that happens to be.
What is largely subjective, like I said, is the basic choice - random order from chaos ("1000 monkeys" theorem) or intelligent design of unknown nature (a higher entity that could be simplified as "a god"). The idea that any human, anywhere, ever, has stumbled upon anything more than that which even vaguely resembles fact is (again) so unlikely that it can be discarded as false, even when it can't be logically disproven (which certain aspects of organised religion certainly can).
I wouldn't assume anyone to be "stupid" as there are all sorts of reasons that people develop the cognitive dissonance required to follow an organised religion - the most common are indoctrination and trauma (especially loss) - neither of which have anything to do with intelligence.
