I'm curious to hear anyone's thoughts on possible reasons WHY
women seem to be such a minority in atheism. I'm a bit new to
"social atheism" (I've been a quiet but not closeted, personal
atheist for over half my life at this point), so I guess I'm
only discovering this bias now.  I dislike the idea that "women
are less rational than men." Or equally its reverse, that "women
need the emotional satisfaction that can come from religion more
than men." I'm not even a big fan of "women are more strongly
social and may therefore be less likely to question the tenets
of their social-support system, often known as a church",
although it might be true.  Is it analogous to the situation
where men have been at the forefront of computing, video games,
and the internet, with women lagging behind? (And why did women
lag in those areas, too?)  Is it possible that women are just
less vocal about it, less likely to write books or start
podcasts (or even join sites like this)?  What do you think?
