Religiosity is negatively associated with later-life intelligence, but not with age-related cognitive decline
Previous research has linked higher religiosity to lower intelligence.
Paradoxically, religiosity has also been linked to healthier cognitive aging.
We tested these relationships in a sample with cognitive tests across the ninth decade.
Religious belief was negatively associated with intelligence in old age.
Neither religious belief nor attendance was related to cognitive decline.
