I think stupid may plausibly mean, depending the circumstances, both
somebody believing in naive and crazy ideas *and* the contrary of
astute and clever.

Personally, I am inclined to consider the supporters of the religions
of the Book as "stupid" in the first sense, but not necessarily nor
always in the second. Far from it...
