Why are there less female atheists?

I don't know. I'm not sure I've noticed a disparity. If it exists, I couldn't begin to tell you why.

I have over this side of the pond.
I think it may be because women  like to think of themselves as spiritual and men like to think of themselves as good at pool.

I gave this post kudos just because I found it funny.  But in reality, I'm sure for every woman saying she feels spiritual because a buttefly waved at her when someone close to her was injured in a car accident....there's a Russel Brand type man who eats spicy chicken and feels a spiritual awakening.

And another thing I think is probably equal on both sides, stupid religious tattoos.  Pretty sure the bible bans tattoos.  But plenty of people get Jesus on the cross on their forearm.

As a casual observation I've noticed that women tend to be cult members more often.  In general women tend to be more fanatical about celebrity figures/famous people, well known leader type people, and more easily led by them.

I think that's why the majority of men get into the cult leader gig in the first place.

In my day to day existence I haven't really noticed a difference in men and women and atheism. I've noticed an obvious difference in nationality and atheism/ religiousness. But not gender.
