Give me a verse that says, "Women are inferior to Men" and I may agree wtih you. After his resurrection Jesus first appeared to a woman. There will be women in Heaven, there will be women in Hell. There will be men in heaven, there will be men in hell. God loves them all.
Yeah, roles where women are considered inferior to men.
How about this little gem-
I Corinthians 14:34-35 "Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church."
Or how about Genesis 3:16? "...your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."
Still want to argue that the writers of the Bible didn't consider women to be inferior to men? The simple phrase "Let your women..." implies OWNERSHIP!
Nope sorry, still just different roles in the Church. Men are commanded to love their wives, uh oh! Does this mean men are inferior to women because they are the only ones commanded to love? Nope. Nice try. These are all things people who don't understand scripture try to point out, women are given roles in the church and they are just as important as the roles men are given.
When you ask someone, "oh is that YOUR wife", or does that mean you legally own that person? Nope, that's just the way the English works there.
Noticed you failed to give verses like this...
Galatians 3:8
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Please tell me, using your Atheistic Worldview why it would be wrong for a person to view women as inferior. This ought to be good.
