More atheist men than women?

[Metis]

Women generally tend to be more emotional, and have a stronger need for community. Generally speaking. Theism caters to both of those.

They also tend to have a far stronger sense of attachment to tradition and culture, as well as living longer than men and have a greater chance of attaining the lay elder/mystic status which in turn can have some influence upon the intellectual formation of other women.

I think a big part of it is an unwillingness to rock the boat; men are usually far more aggressive and willing to object to the status quo than women who are more inclined to work with the system instead of flipping the table entirely.
