Chesterton quote

I've heard and seen the quote, "Theology is simply that part of religion that requires brains." attributed to G.K. Chesterton. I'm trying to find the source for the quote, but haven't found success in Logos or Google. Can anyone help with this endeaveor?

Gemini says it's a misattribution and can provide no source. I like it though!

Further prompting does not nail down a source. Speculates on the source being a letter or occasion.
