        "In most societies, women are more religious than men." this is only true if you're counting different Christian countries as 'different societies', and if you are it's a pretty meaningless claim.

        ... confrontation with the family which may be a motivation not to doubt the own belief too much. I'm a man and don't have a religiously strict family and even for me this was sth. which slowed me down to accept that I don't believe anymore.
