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?
