It is just that males tend to be more rational than us
I'm glad you said that, very brave. I wouldn't dare, but I guess I'm just a typical Pisces.

It is just that males tend to be more rational than us
Atheism is not more rational, and that can be shown. Also, atheism is not "scientific". It's a bias that's often based on the misrepresentation of science ("scientism").Because men are more into science, I guess.
And science pushes you to be more and more rational.
Not at all. If you look at it, care taker roles in healthcare tend to be heavily dominated by women. Case managers, nurses, home health care, assisted living, those positions are probably over 90% women. Even many doctors are women.I love science. I am a staunch theist who believes in Evolution. It is just that males tend to be more rational than us, I guess.
Yes. I think it's more just a matter of scientists having to ask questions, scanning over data, finding doubts and oddities, and think logically. I think it's more just a matter of who it attracts.Atheism is not more rational, and that can be shown. Also, atheism is not "scientific".

As a Libra I couldn't possibly say why females are more inclined towards religion, and it may not be that big a difference, but perhaps there is something in their nature - as being more empathetic, more inclined towards relationships (and support), and perhaps seeking more security - but all such is mere supposition.I'm glad you said that, very brave.

In fact mine was a generalization.Atheism is not more rational, and that can be shown. Also, atheism is not "scientific". It's a bias that's often based on the misrepresentation of science ("scientism").
I'd like to get some theories why Atheism attracts more men than women.
Faith in numbers: Behind the gender difference of nonreligious Americans
Scholars have long noted that atheism skews male. Meanwhile, critics have pointed toward the apparent dominance of male authors in the “new atheism” movement as evidence of a “boys club.” Indeed, a quick scan of the best-selling books on atheism on Amazon indicates that almost all of them are written by male authors.

I have met an equal number of male atheists and female atheists IRL, so the nexus between gender and atheism can be random, I guess.

I suspect it has to do with self-reliance. Man have more control over their own lives and circumstances than women do because they have more power in our culture. Thus, they are less likely to feel the need for metaphysical help or support. Which is what theism is mostly about.
It's not that more men are atheists; it's that more men are out as atheists.But that's simply due to the dominance of Christianity in the US. On the other hand, we have pretty much equal men and women (or slightly more women). How then do we explain that more men are atheists?
It's not that atheism is especially scientific; it's that theistic religion often involves accepting ideas that go against a scientific understanding.Atheism is not more rational, and that can be shown. Also, atheism is not "scientific". It's a bias that's often based on the misrepresentation of science ("scientism").

I don't think the trends the article is referring to are really about attraction to atheism. The so called "new atheism movement" you refer to is a tiny, tiny proportion of all the people who fall in to the general non-religious grouping this is actually about so I think that is pretty much irrelevant.I'd like to get some theories why Atheism attracts more men than women.
Theists tend to have emotional connection to the articles of their faith, do they not? As an atheist, the only thing I know that brings out emotions in me relating to my atheism is in the exasperation of hearing claims without good evidence being poured out like water. And those emotions are most always of the "disappointment", "irritation" and "vicarious-embarrassment" variety. I have been told very often, and have witnessed that there is a much greater range of emotion that theists attach to their ideas.You're going to have to give a reason why atheists would be less emotional. I don't see the connection.
