This seems very similar to the experiment where black people were shown to do worse on intelligence tests after being reminded that they were black..
So this experiment (in my view) doesn’t really help to answer whether analytical thinking reduces religious belief. What it does show is that a lot of people make that association, and that is more than enough to cause the priming effect.
