In a First, Young Men Are More Religious Than Young Women
At Grace Church in Waco, Texas, the Generation Z gender divide can be seen in the pews. It has the potential to reshape both politics and family life.
Perhaps the women are tired of misogynistic religions telling them they're inferior.
Plus the increase of education over the years.

Or even the corollary, that the Abrahamic religions grant authority to men, so men who feel as though they command no authority flock to the religions to achieve it.
Not a surprising statistic.
Women seem to be sick of being treated as a "mom you can fuck", and the younger generation's men seem to be more right-wing.
Religion casts women as second class breeders and men as the dominant second to only god leader so it makes sense to me why men are more and women less relegious
I wonder if this is related to the falling college enrollment for young men. I’m just speculating.
Would be very surprised if that wasn't at least a factor, there is definitely at least correlation there, if not causation.
Maybe it's the orher way around, young women are (even) less religious than young men...
We are in the midst of a huge generational shift right now. These trends especially among young adults will likely start changing one way or the other. I am going to guess that as some of these young men find female partners they will likely become less religious. I am thinking in a few years we will see this right twist of young men disappear with the gender gap shrinking towards a more leftist direction
We need women to be confident and assertive in their personal lives to not have them go the other way and accept their male partner's views. Here's hoping! I think it's possible.
Part of the trend of ditching organized religion is moving past what you were taught to critically think. That is a step in that direction.
The post-incel reactionary trad movement is just getting started. I just hope that there's less men into it that it seems and they are just very noisy, because if not then we are about to get bitten on the ass like we have no idea. I do fear for future society.
I think this article misleadingly states what the stats show.
Each American generation is less religious than the older generations, and Gen Z is no different. It's just that Gen Z women are far less religious than previous generations, a bigger gap than the men. From the study that provides the underlying stats:
What’s remarkable is how much larger the generational differences are among women than men. Gen Z men are only 11-points more religiously unaffiliated than Baby Boomer men, but the gap among women is almost two and a half times as large. Thirty-nine percent of Gen Z women are unaffiliated compared to only 14 percent of Baby Boomer women.
In other words, Gen Z men are less religious than Boomer men. This basic conclusion doesn't seem to come through in the original article, which almost suggests that young men are more religious than older generations.
All religion is bad and should only exist privately. Get religion out of politics. It is cynically used to manipulate the electorate.
Hmm, curious, I wonder how on Earth that could've happened...
