Christianity, the religion for anti-intellectuals.

I think all religions are anti-intellectual.

Not all. Christianity in the Medieval period had quite a few great minds working on shoring up the faith using reason and logic. One can argue about the exercise's ultimate utility, but at least they were putting a lot of effort in on the logical construction of their beliefs. And most of the great Western Universities arose out of the Catholic Church.

And Islam was at one time the world's keeper of ancient wisdom. Islam is why the West was able to develop so well, the Muslims kept the learnings from the Greek world alive during our Dark Ages (not really dark but you get the point).

Sometimes religion can be the home of intellectual pursuits!
