Men will think more about things, and women will be more emotional, because religion is a more emotional belief, such as mother Mary being Jesus' mother, women will cling to that.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I generally do both.

Awesome. Religion is on its last legs round here. I remember on some stupid show a while ago, an English guy said, "I'm christian, but I'm not like, you know, over the top." It became clear that what he meant by "over the top" was taking it in any way seriously. We have paper christians, and that's the kind I want worldwide.

Also, men are better than women! I knew it Big Grin *Hides under the table*

20% difference between men and women. That's not too bad. The gap is smaller than some people make it out to be.

It's much higher than that. 60% more women are religious than men with those statistics.

According to this poll 40% of men and 60% of women are NOT atheist/agnostic. Is the low church attendance of 6% a result of Christian laziness or is it a result of competing religions like Islam?

People will say they are Christian but they won't be regular church goers. They're default Christians in that they only think about it for specific situations such as filling in forms, weddings etc.

Indeed, aka 'nominal' Christians.

It's also why the respondents who say they are Christians to the official UK census (england and wales) conducted every decade is higher than, say, the BSAS survey which is intermittent. The official census is a government endorsed census and so people feel a need to respond in a more formal manner.

This explains the disparity between why 21%~ said they dont have a religion in the census whilst in the BSAS it was around 50%~.

A lot of christian sects in the UK will go extinct within the next decade or two. Methodism for example has seen numbers drop year on year for almost 30 years:
