Why are there less female atheists?
#32
RE: Why are there less female atheists?
I think you could make a case that the more oppressed and disadvantaged a person is, the more likely they are to be religious. There's certainly a correlation between poverty and religion, and a similar dynamic may be in play, not necessarily causation but similarities in having to work harder to get to the same place.

Having access to information and education to inform your doubt of what you've been taught to believe isn't equal (but it's getting there). Being able to declare one's atheism openly is not something everyone is equally well-positioned to do, it costs some people more than it costs others. I think these disparities are reflected in atheist demographics.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
