For centuries, we’ve known that men and women are very different, and not just biologically, but emotionally, socially, and intellectually. We’ve heard phrases like “Men are microwaves and women are crockpots,” or “Men are like waffles and women are like spaghetti,” and know them to be true. But have you ever considered these differences in relation to religion?
According to a monumental study conducted by Professor Sascha Becker (University of Warwick), Jeanet Sinding Bentzen (University of Copenhagen), and Chun Chee Kok (Université Catholique de Louvain), Gender and Religion: A Survey in the Journal of Demographic Economics, women aren’t just more religious than men, but they’re more likely to live the faith out daily.
Using global survey data, the three authors have identified a striking pattern: women identify with a religious tradition, pray regularly, and describe faith as central to their daily lives significantly more than men. “This holds across countries, cultures, and most major faiths,” said the three authors.
