Statistically speaking there are more atheist males than females, with varying gaps between countries. Debatable to what extend biological differences between the sexes would account for the variation. There will be gender differences that influence our psychology to such an extent that place more women than men in certain career fields, and some biological differences that are mostly irrelevant due to cultural and societal factors.
You might as well make a point that there are fewer black atheists in the public eye and why that is.
Are there really fewer women who are atheists? I don't tend to mix with a lot of them (I work in IT), but every single one I know well is an atheist.
