The question should be why should anyone strive to look younger than they are to be attractive?…"

Gavin Martin commented on Gavin Martin's blog post 'Why are only 25% of Atheist Women?'"Tom, I'm from a similar family, but I am concerned my daughter is over complimented and this may give her false expectations.

luvtheheaven commented on Gavin Martin's blog post 'Why are only 25% of Atheist Women?'"Kairan, you make a lot of great points. I too was raised to be religious but also raised to be empathethic, think of myself as completely equal to males, intelligence and education were greatly valued in my house growing up, etc. I had a favorite…"
luvtheheaven commented on Gavin Martin's blog post 'Why are only 25% of Atheist Women?'"The atheist census site says here in the United States it's closer to 1/3rd of us who are women. I think some of the other factors are:

I have a 4 year old daughter and have a small battle on my hands to protect her from her mother's 'spirituality' and loose association with a church. I recently discovered that approximately only 25% of atheists are women.
