I disagree with the OP's premise, but it is a fact that women are more religous then men, why they are, is up for debate but, it is a fact, the world over.

Quote:Nearly three-fourths of women (72%) believe that religion can answer all or most of today's problems, compared with 59% of men. The difference between men and women on this issue has been relatively consistent for 45 years.

"How important would you say religion is in your own life," 68% of women responded "very important," while only 48% of men did so.
