Not since Madalyn Murray O’Hair has the image of non-religiosity been defined by a woman. That may change with Generation Z.
A new analysis of data by sociologist Ryan P. Burge finds that, among people born after the year 2000, known as Gen Z, more women than men identify with no organized religion. The Zoomer “Nones” are predominantly female, something we never saw in earlier generations. ...
I think it is interesting that the difference between the %'s from about age 45 or 50 and older is fairly consistent.
I agree with the suggestion that more women are leaving religion because of the inherent sexism and subjugation of females within Christianity (and many other religious traditions). Women have more than earned their equality in American society (not to say more isn't needed to be done - like a major change in the SCOTUS) and religion generally speaking has not kept up.
What the numbers are among the LGBTQ crowd. SCROTUS, in their infinite stupidity, will turn more people against christianity.
Yeah, religion doesn't do much for women.
Bingo!!! I’ve never understood why so many woman buy into an ideology that oppresses them, and subjugates them to men….
That's likely the difference between the genders in the younger generation who can see this with fresh eyes, not after decades of being indoctrinated like the older generations.
