Why Are There More Atheist Men Than Women by TheShopKeeper(m): 10:54am On Sep 04, 2017 |
Not so sure if such subject has been raised on this forum, however, I have a question that has been on my mind lately. I have been privileged to meet quite a number of people from different culture, various works of life, within and outside the country and I found that those who are atheist are more of the male population than our female folks. Also, I have read extensively and once again to my surprise, more books on atheistism are written by men compared to women. So to all the eminent and intelligent folks on this forum, why are there more atheist men than women or put it in another way, why are women more religious than men? ***Please all responses are welcome with no bashing or derogatory comments about any gender*** |

Because fewer women are bums |

It only looks as if there are more male atheists. No proof exists that men are more likely to be atheists than women.There are female atheists like Oprah Winfrey, Ellen Degeneres, Sarah Silverman etc. The thing is, they are famous for reasons other than atheism. |

TheLogicalMind: Oprah Winfrey is not an atheist. I remember her blasting atheism on one of her programs 1 Like |

There are fewer female atheists for the same reason that there are more women in church. Oppressed/poorer groups are more likely to turn to religion Blacks are more religious than whites. Latinos more religious than whites 3 Likes 1 Share |

obinna58:I think there should be clear scientific evidence on the topic. it is an issue that most be resolved to address gender inequality. since there is no credible scientific evidence known to me for now. I shall base my findings on observation and assumption. in physical strength. men appear more stronger than women in the area of size and muscle but in general physical qualities like agility and balance ,immune system and emotions women outperform men. I also observe women live longer and the reason I accredit to this is that women are bilogically better survivors from the day they’re born. Statistically, baby girls are more robust than boys, which makes mortality rates among babies a little skewed in favour of girls. And for reasons that scientists don’t fully understand, throughout their lives women tend to survive the same diseases that kill men. 1 Like |

Well men are encouraged to be liberal and their decisions unquestioned unlyk women... Deviating from the norm will cause uproar especially in Africa |

TheShopKeeper:first of all, there is no concrete answer to your question. every idea here will bias in some way. my own contribution. when it comes to love. cares and feelings. give it to the women. women who have already develop a feelings with imaginary friend may find it difficult just to breakup. women who are more smart often do not use the smartness when it comes to emotion and love affairs. this can be applicable to men too anyways, but I think is common among women |

Jhaytee4all: I'm not sure your bible agrees |

Proudgorgeousga:OK |

Jhaytee4all: 1 Timothy 2:12 English Standard Version (ESV) I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. 1 Timothy 2:11-14 English Standard Version (ESV) Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 English Standard Version (ESV) the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church. 34 so if the bible agrees why are they told to keep quite? |

Jhaytee4all: Ecclesiastes 7:28 while I was still searching but not finding-- I found one upright man among a thousand, but not one upright woman among them all. second translation 28 I have looked for other answers but have found none. I found one man in a thousand that I could respect, but not one woman. 29 |

Proudgorgeousga: I'm curious, what do you have to say to the OP? I know you're not an atheist so you can just change it to irreligious let me say it like this "Why are there more irreligious males than females?" do you agree that there are more irreligious men than women? if yes, what do you think is the reason for that? |
Re: Why Are There More Atheist Men Than Women by Nobody: 5:24pm On Sep 04, 2017 |
hopefulLandlord: There are probably more irreligious women than you think, they are just not as vocal about it as men are. |
Re: Why Are There More Atheist Men Than Women by Nobody: 5:24pm On Sep 04, 2017 |
Proudgorgeousga: Ok. |
Re: Why Are There More Atheist Men Than Women by hopefulLandlord: 5:27pm On Sep 04, 2017 |
Proudgorgeousga: okay, I can work with that what makes women less vocal about being irreligious than men? |
Re: Why Are There More Atheist Men Than Women by Nobody: 5:29pm On Sep 04, 2017 |
Proudgorgeousga: This is based on our faith. I'm not referring to our faith. Since when you were born, how many pastoress and prophetess have you seen? Now start counting them. You could as well add names (if possible ![]() |

I hope this won't turn to women vs men Thanks vaxx and Proudgorgeousga for silencing all foolishness As for the topic, The only thing that comes to mind, and this is just a guess, maybe pressure due to marriage issues, praying for a husband, praying for kids. Praying for a husband that's cheating. Apart from the above I don't see any reason that will make women more religious than men. 1 Like |
