POLL Why are women more inclined toward religious belief?

Repeated polls have revealed the women are statistically more likely to engage in religious behavior than men. In the United States, for example, women are more likely than men to say religion is “very important” in their lives (60% vs. 47%)

Although sociologists have presented several theories as to why this is the case, there is no overall consensus.

Do you ascribe this statistical discrepancy more toward biological or environmental factors (nature/nurture)? What do you think is the cause of this gender gap?

Ladies, please correct me if I'm wrong. I also apologize if this sounds sexist, not my intention at all. But are women more inclined (either by nature or nurture) and encouraged to be conformist?

Give me the actual polling site cause i don't believe that shit I'm a woman and I'm a non believer

I did; it's the link in the title. Just touch/click on the title and you'll have access to a multiple page analysis of a poll conducted by a repudiable company. If you are sceptical of their methods, there are multiple other similar polls available with minimal research.

because women are controlled by men and men use religion to control them. it is not nature.

Girls are raised, generally, with a strong emphasis on following the rules & being "good" much more so than boys are.
