    Perhaps the women are tired of misogynistic religions telling them they’re inferior.

      More likely that some young men see “traditional family values” as the only way to get respect and get laid.

      Or even the corollary, that the Abrahamic religions grant authority to men, so men who feel as though they command no authority flock to the religions to achieve it.

    Religion casts women as second class breeders and men as the dominant second to only god leader so it makes sense to me why men are more and women less relegious

    I wonder if this is related to the falling college enrollment for young men. I’m just speculating.

    Maybe it’s the orher way around, young women are (even) less religious than young men…

    The post-incel reactionary trad movement is just getting started. I just hope that there’s less men into it that it seems and they are just very noisy, because if not then we are about to get bitten on the ass like we have no idea. I do fear for future society.

    I think this article misleadingly states what the stats show.

    Each American generation is less religious than the older generations, and Gen Z is no different. It’s just that Gen Z women are far less religious than previous generations, a bigger gap than the men. From the study that provides the underlying stats:

    What’s remarkable is how much larger the generational differences are among women than men. Gen Z men are only 11-points more religiously unaffiliated than Baby Boomer men, but the gap among women is almost two and a half times as large. Thirty-nine percent of Gen Z women are unaffiliated compared to only 14 percent of Baby Boomer women.

    In other words, Gen Z men are less religious than Boomer men. This basic conclusion doesn’t seem to come through in the original article, which almost suggests that young men are more religious than older generations.

      Or your gender is the one that benefits from religion more, and is slower to leave the safety of the shallow pool.

          I’ve always tried showing the people in my life of religious persuasion that atheism or secular humanism are not what the religious leaders and politicians attempt to paint them as.

          I don’t feel the need to advocate outright, push my beliefs, or bash others beliefs because we are going in the right direction, and religion only gets older and more porous. Fight for the free transfer of information and religion will have fewer and fewer shadows to hide in.

            Dunno.

            On one hand, yeah. We shouldn’t mock anyone.

            But I’m an imperfect being and YECs make it so hard to resist. “Dino fossil ages are fake to sow doubt so that we can have free will,” is just so hard to not make fun of.
