More atheist men than women?

For an outsider looking in, I can understand how this makes little sense to you, especially if you don't believe in God or in spiritual life. Just know that for us who believe, none of this is coming from a place of sexism.

Yeah - you keep telling yourself that. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Corinthians 14:34-35
"34The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. 35If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church..."

That's probably because men were not allowed to speak... uhm... when and where, exactly?
No, no, let me guess - you choose to disregard inconvenient parts of New Testament, as well as all of the OT, right?

As I have previously explained, Catholicism is not sola scriptura.

We don't consider the bible to be infallible Church doctrine. If you want to know what the Church teaches about something, you don't look at the bible, you look at official Church documents such as the Catechism, the Magestarium, Humanae Vitae, etc.

Gaudium Et Spes on the Vatican website says this in regards to equality:

"Nevertheless, with respect to the fundamental rights of the person, every type of discrimination, whether social or cultural, whether based on sex, race, color, social condition, language or religion, is to be overcome and eradicated as contrary to God's intent. For in truth it must still be regretted that fundamental personal rights are still not being universally honored. Such is the case of a woman who is denied the right to choose a husband freely, to embrace a state of life or to acquire an education or cultural benefits equal to those recognized for men."

Edit to add: I've been to Catholic church and I'm allowed to speak while I'm there. ;-)
