The correlation is lower IQ equals to less thinking equals to more superstition and religiosity which I think is very logical.

More religiosity means less avg. Iq of the population equals to less economic wealth.

So as long as we hold on to capitalism the end of religion is designed to happen.

The wealthiest societies today were until recently very religions or colonies of said societies. It was not imperial China that kicked off the industrial revolution but the very christian and quite religious Great Britain. A more likely interpretation of the data is that increasing wealth leads to decadence and undermines religiosity. High IQ is associated with success and wealth. Low IQ countries stayed poor and religious.
Your example is wrong. Industrial revolution in the UK was based of several things like history, geography, politics etc. It has nothing to do with religion - religion was in fact an enemy of industrial revolution.
Which rich and religious colonies are you talking about? Most colonies in Africa and Asia are doing pretty bad - except some city states (which incorporated western non religious standards like secularism) or communist nations like China (biggest economy in the world).
Your interpretation is wrong. Sustained wealth is based on good economics and education which leads to new scientific achievements - a positive feedback.
Imperial China had the means for the industrial revolution 2000 years ago but they didn't succeed for various reasons but nevertheless I was talking about communist China.

Superstition and religiosity are distinctly separate entities. While it is true that both are currently correlated with low IQ I have argued that only the former will be associated with low IQ over the long term and provided reasons why this may be the case. I also highlighted religious groups that defy this correlation.
Please link, because I'm very doubtful about your Mormon studies.

What makes you think we will hold onto capitalism? We lost capitalism some time ago. Freedom requires a solid moral foundation to be maintained. Lose your moral foundation and the rest slowly collapses.
Uh what? When did we stop with capitalism? I think I didn't got the memo
