I once spent a 4th of July weekend with about 15 hardcore evangelical Christians. (Ex-Mr. Jessica’s sister was a born-again.) Explaining to some of the women what kind of website I write for proved to be awkward. But when I told one woman that The Frisky was similar to Cosmopolitan magazine, she exclaimed, “Oh, I read that!”

“Really?” I asked. “Isn’t it a little … uh … raunchy?”

She laughed. “Oh, I just flip past all the shirtless guys and stuff about sex.”

So this is interesting … a new study done by Trinity College confirmed that more women than men believe in God. In a survey of Americans who claim to be unaffiliated with any religion, 19 per cent of men were nonbelievers while only 12 per cent of women were. These stats are particularly ironic because historically, major religions have not been er … particularly kind or accommodating to women. We all know that most major religions don’t have female leaders but even more disturbing is that huge elephant in the room – for the most part, organized religion has always been oppressive to its female followers. So what gives? Why are the ladies more committed to God in spite of the obvious lack of preferential treatment? Keep reading »
