You believe that while living in today's society-- and with all the access to TV and internet--christian women are not smart enough to realize that they are "oppressed" and make a decision to leave their situation.
No. I didn't say they are not smart, you just said that. Notice how I didn't call the North Koreans stupid. You could be the smartest person in the world and still be indoctrinated. Intelligence is irrelevant. BTW I think that Xian men are equally indoctrinated and equally as intelligent as the women.

Many men do this as well. Gender is irrelevant.

You don't have to be stupid to make bad decisions and fall for bad reasoning. Besides, the Christianity advertised is nothing like the Christianity in the bible. The sexism is a lot less obvious yet still present, subtle enough to appear as though it isn't there.

Funny how you left out the reason that they shouldn't be, isn't it?
Tell me Lek, do you think the North Koreans should be happy? Please answer.

And here you demonstrate that you don't know what atheism is. As an atheist, I have no beliefs. As an atheist.
Instead of teaching them what to think, I would teach them how to think. You know? (or maybe you don't) critical thinking skills, the ability to analyse claims and events.
