Are men generally more prone to atheism, and women generally more prone to theism? If so, does anyone have any theories on why this is the case?

Thanks!

Well men are smarter than women. What do you expect?

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

This is a profoundly wrong pair of assertions.

What does it mean "men can give spiritual life?"? Please explain

Men can give birth? Tongue

No. Both men and women can contribute ideas and there are many great women saints who have contributed greatly to the Church. 

We believe only men can perform sacraments which we believe promote a healthy spiritual life. That's what I mean by "give spiritual life." While on the other hand, only women can give physical life through carrying a child and giving birth. 

I hope that helps clear it up!

It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

In that case I would assume female seahorses can be priests. Tongue
