Actually, it says nothing like that
"A survey of Royal Society fellows found that only 3.3 per cent believed in God - at a time when 68.5 per cent of the general UK population described themselves as believers."
From there the prof has inferred that Atheism is related to intelligence (IQ even, which is a much discredited indicator of intelligence). Basically it's opinionated bulls**t* Not surprising since the same professor has linked intelligence to race and sex in the past.
* if the Telegraph is accurate, which is not a given
