I am still trying to figure this out. Surprisingly, women appear to be much more religious than men (IMO)

In the United States, for example, women are more likely than men to say religion is “very important” in their lives (60% vs. 47%), according to a 2014 Pew Research Center survey.
Why? Remember the vows of marriage is to "love, honor, and obey"....so there's that brain-washing going on.
As Pew points out (in this link, below) ALL the prophets, ALL the god images are men. Dominant, outspoken, tough men. Marriage vows; even of those who do strictly non-religious ceremonies...still hint at the notion of "taking" a partner rather than sharing a lifetime together.
The women of any - if not all - religions are painted as demure, passive, willing to be controlled and manipulated...and, for some, to be put on a pedestal and worshiped.
So I'm guessing that - apparently - many women like this...they prefer it to being "independent" or pushing for equality. They like the inequality that the religious view takes....and - unfortunately - too many old fashioned/macho/religious men smile and accept this notion.

Of course the Hindu are a bit more progressive on woman gods. Gotta love Kali... Nice, demure house mouse type 
And smarter too..
