Sorry. I have to disagree. I think you are making it more complicated by assuming that bringing forth life is the operative theme here. In the Bible, the only context we have for the Christian god, god is referred to as male. That is quite the end of the story. Like I've said before, we wouldn't just later call Gandalf a girl. Our entire concept of him must come from the book from which we know him. He is called a he in said book. If we want to change it up, we are then in the awkward position as atheists of presuming to know god beyond a book that we must as atheists believe is fiction, at least in respect to god.
I honestly don't mean any offense when I say this, but what is it with you and this females are the bringers of life thing? A. No human female could make a baby without there being a male and vice versa. It is a team effort. Sure, we do most of the work, but let's not pretend women can reproduce asexually, which brings me to B. There are plenty of creatures that can switch sexes, are both sexes or reproduce asexually. It is hubris to use only humans as our compass for how biology works. Again, no offense. It's just a little femicrazy, in my opinion.
