How does gender affect religious beliefs
The Pew Research Center finds that across the globe, women are often more likely to be religious, to pray and find religion important in their lives. Of course, this could be because of their limited opportunities. "Women who are in the labor force are more like men in religiosity. Women out of the labor force tend to be more religious," -Conrad Hackett with PRC. "Part of that might be because they're part of a religious group that enforces the power of women being at home."
68% of seculars are men, not a very balanced number.
:star: There is so much discrimination against people with low education and people who aren't the same race or gender as others. Most seculars are white men, but that needs to change. As people try their best to help everyone everywhere, they will teach about religion, telling people it's okay to be who they are, how religion isn't anything
