Number of male vs female atheists?

Number of male vs female atheists?
Out of sheer curiosity, I am curious if there are a (relatively) equal number or more male or female atheists? If there is a large disparity, why?

RE: Number of male vs female atheists?
So far the ratio is exactly equal.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Female.

Though I suspect the number of outspoken atheists who are male outnumber the female.

There's a larger number of atheist activists who identify as male. I think that since atheism correlates with intelligence, high education and scientific knowledge, and traditionally those are traits/fields considered masculine and discouraged for women, that might have something to do with the potential lower number of atheist females - Submission is considered a virtue for feminine characteristics, and praying/worshiping fits well with submission.

It would take a very brave woman from an Islamic country to find the courage to sign up here.
Maybe they're all blissfully happy serving their god and husband ? Who knows?

Male. Thankfully the females outlive us and can get away from the bullshit.

AFO isn't a large enough statistical universe to make the results meaningful.

That's what I thought earlier. A fun, interesting exercise perhaps, but little more than that.
