No, you can be religious for a variety of reasons.

Its when you use your religion as an excuse to not educate yourself or to prevent others from educating themselves that I consider it a ding on you and your intelligence.

Only if they're dogmatically so and not at all open to other potentialities. This can also apply to particular staunch athiests.
