I think there definitely is room for change but we lack the acceptance for it. due to politics religion is a sensitive topic now. Where everyone is fighting because of religious superiority. Putting religion first and society in the back seat.

Hm…never thought about this before.

The male and female brain are indeed slightly different, as the rest of the body

I'll give the award to Meslier simply because he did his letters postumaly wich is a checkmate to the foxhole argument. As atheists we have a hard time understanding how important this is, but him denying god in death should be more meaningfull to religious people than any of us denying in life because christians have a really hard time accepting 100% atheism. Meslier not only blasphemed he found a way to do it in death, the ultimate challenge to god's supposed power over him. It's a brilliant move I wish I could have met this man, thanks for introducing me to his work.

We are making feminist angry with this one

Women got the right to vote in America, and the first thing they pushed through was Prohibition -- because alcoholism had become pandemic among men after the Civil War and the expansion of distilled spirits. Women rarely drank -- so the problem was 90% alcohol and men. And let's face facts: Men are Beasts. Rape, Murder, Robbery, Assault -- 9 times out of 10. it's a Male. Women were kept in harems long ago, and bred to please the Sultans. Old wives tales began in tents used for separation during menstruation.

I live in the United States and I must completely disagree. Atheism, as a philosophy, completely dominates the social and corporate landscape. Any one of any faith, traditional or new age, is looked down on as simple minded and stupid. Atheism and materialism are the rule, not the exception.

Indeed i feel pety for the people who can't speak English because they missing a whole world of knowledge engaging with everyone in the world specially in this technological advances humanity has made

Strict islam came later in the abbasid period and after the Mongolian invasion specially ibn taimiyah and later in the 1800s mohammed bin abdulwahab in Saudi arabia which the first Saudi state took his ideas and after the socialist spreading in the 60s religions figures take ibn taymiah and mohammed bin abdulwahab ideas to counter that

Most of not all high achieving science students I know all men are religious or at least believe in a higher power. The only ones that aren't I either see on TV or hear about in statistics. Every one of these people realize at some point how powerless they are and how little they know. Especially if they've tried psychedelics they will believe in a creator.

Definitely a mix of both biological and social factors. As other commenters have pointed out, spirituality is higher among educated Western women overall in the from of New Age practices and pseudoscientific beliefs like astrology, so that kind of defeats the patriarchy argument. Still a very good video, liked and subscribed.

I was born in a relatively poor family in Ukraine, both my father and mother had pretty successful carriers, however my father eventually became more religious, specially after my sister was born, while my mom became more open about her atheism

Dear Algorithm, I offer this comment that Thou mightst increase the reach of this video. In Google’s name, Amen.

I thought in the first picture, I didn't see well, I thought it was Emma Goldman lol - also an atheist. I'd be curious on how this changes regionally.

Hey I just wanted to tell you, I'm only about 12 minutes in I think, I'm looking at Elisha ben Abuya, and I really hope this isn't just a list of people. I mean I'll be really interested to see that list of people and hear about them and thank you very much for doing that but I hope you also have a little section at some point for just random people whose actual names and dates are unknown, like the people in the Christian Bible who are called atheists and presumably were around before this guy. Unless you're not going in chronological order like it seems that this very moment. Anyway, this is a great idea for a video and I'm super happy to see it so thanks for making it and posting it Edit: to clarify, I'm super excited about the video and I hope there's a whole lot of it. I hope there are a bunch of named people in history and I'm looking forward to the stories and on top of that I hope there are also unknowns. Because we're all people looking for solidarity and most of us are nobodies, not great scientists or theologians. Anyway, having a great time

Great video

I'm now wondering about the vastly negative picture often painted of the USSR throughout history... how much is accurate, and how much is even slightly exaggerated by modern capitalists?

Good video overall. Thank you for making it. Only one thing I would push back on is the idea that women couldn’t have a bank account. Marilyn Monroe had her own bank account. I am not sure when the switch happened but she passed in the early 60’s and maintained her own accounts throughout all her marriages. I would recommend Lindsay Boggs autobiography.

As a Christian I like this data

It definitely has nothing to do with women in religions being denied birth control, education, jobs, and other rights that make it beyond difficult to be a woman and support yourself. Talk to a woman who survived being raised Mormon and you'll know all you need to know about why it is harder for women to leave religion.

The congregation’s are a social group and women get more involved in the group activities of their society. Simple, end of story.

Excellent. Another fantastic, informative video.

Great ivdeo! I love learning this sort of history!

Thanks for your video. I had already heard about women being more religious before I watched your video. But I didn't know that women were a minority among atheists. I am currently looking for a female atheist UA-camr. No wonder I haven't found one yet! 15:10 Yes! It happened to me too. I was watching an atheist podcast, when I heard one host using misogynistic slur and another making insults like, "Your mother..." I immediately unsubscribed🤢🤮. Also atheist creators sometimes support gender theory. Which is also a red flag for me. 18:12 Всё это время я слышала ваш акцент, но не была уверена, что вы владеете русским языком. Спасибо, что распространили это видео в англоязычном коммьюнити.

I think a lot of people are agnostic, not atheists. They believe in a loving creator of the Universe and are spiritual, they do not believe in the man made religions, which are dangerous and yes, I feel most man made religions attack the freedom of women.

Religion is a crux for those downtrodden.

5:30 - there's nothing amazing about a translator who distorts someone else's writing to push their own agenda. There is no excuse for it. It's a form of censorship. I don't care if you think it's for a good cause. The author's actual message is not permitted to be seen. Instead, it is a distortion of their message. It's no different from Christians who deliberately rewrite passages in the Bible like adding an entire verse in the Bible to justify their doctrine of the Trinity. They wanted to conceal the truth that their holy book didn't back up their interpretation so they changed it to suit them. Even if Darwin was an atheist, The Origin of Species did not promote atheism then neither should its translation.

Everyone making intentional choices always pay a cost. If you are a career person and generally not religious you pay the cost in what you miss out on , Children, adult heirs with strong core values, even having any heirs at all. But you have secular benefits in the form of material possessions. Very religious people may also not have heirs because of having liflelong spiritual focus which leaves no room for children and marriage. Others, like my wife and I ( married for more than 31 years) split the difference somewhat , we have grown children and more than typical material wealth and income but also are likely to be in the top 10% in religious devotion. The price we have payed is , we wish we had been more religious with more children and perhaps less material wealth as the trade off. Some of our brethren have no children and no real estate or major possessions and live a semi nomadic life ( which is appealing to those who like to always travel and volunteer the majority of their time in service to others) the cost is that they will have no material wealth ( or some of the worries that come with it) and produce no heirs. The psychological and real benefits which they have and we to a,lesser extent are a sense of freedom , a strong congregational support structure , a global brotherhood with friends in every land, ( on the rare occasions when my wife and eye can afford to travel we often are guided by expatriates in foreign lands from among our brothers and sisters) even staying in their homes, and the promise of God that whatever may happen in our lives we will see immortality and paradise and even greater wonders as a reward. It’s really a cost , benefit analysis no matter the road you choose to take.

There's a lot of women that have faith but they're not Christians, paganism is the growing religion with women in the US it follows their hedonistic lifestyle patterns

My observation is that a young woman who is Atheist typically becomes religious later in life as her prettiness ( and the influence and power it brings ) fades. When , in times past, women had less social power they where even more likely to find the power that religious structures gives. Today, with women having more social power than ever they tend to behave as Atheist even when belonging nominally to a church. The result has been devastating to the nuclear family.

I would rather be known as an atheist instead of a sheep. Maybe due to autism I can’t abide the bs religions force feed their minions. I am not afraid to speak my truth.

You are a silly, naive boy. You try to explain correlation as causation. Feminists won't appreciate it anyway if you tried all this mental gymnastic just to please them...

Exactly. Most of our history most Americans were NOT "Christian". They lived in the real world farming hunting etc. and weren't involved in these Abrahamic "religions." These Abrahamic "religions" think every human on earth "must" be under them. It's crazy if anyone actually thinks about it. Completely crazy

Also recall having to hide my atheism during my teenage years in order to not offend my working class mother, and other member of the small town I grew up in back in the 1980’s when everyone attended their local church.

I find this fascinating as someone whom came from a poorer immigrant family whose parents were religious, and yet became an atheist by the age of fifteen.

I mean, it took me a long time to finally become an atheist because of the shame and fear.

Very simple, women are more intelligent than men. I say that as a man.

How do you spell the name of the French woman ? Clémence... what ?

excellent! This was very useful!

GMS sent me here! :) Thx for the content you make. Thank you to all of the deceased atheist-adjacent people who were put to death or judged. It doesn't seem we've come far in some ways, but the ability to question your reality and your origin should be a right.

An opposing opinion here, from a Catholic man: why less Atheist women? Because they are 1. wiser than us men, and 2. more loving. 😽😎 👋

Shitt.. looks like finding an atheist girlfriend will be harder than I thought

I think the issue isn't in that religion contradicts basic freedoms. If one looks at the Scnadinavian model, one can observe that religion in those countries has been adjusted to the current values of the society; for example in Sweden women can not only preach, but take high ranking positions, and homosexuality is accepted as a normal part of life to a point that we can find a lesbian bishop who is married and has an adopted kid (Gerd Eva Cecilia Brunne). I think this demonstrates that religion is what we make of it, and if in some other countries people discriminate others under the guise of church, it's a question of the people in charge of the church in that particular country and the government, who not only do nothing to change that situation, but endorse it.

The amazing thing is people who think they are smarter than people of faith out of some imagined mental superiority. The creator of this video need not worry that his vast intelligence has held him back.

Everyone was an atheist before the first god was invented

As a women i find the notion women are weak, incapable and without power in society highly offensiv. And psychological and histrocially inaccurated. Some women foster this myth manly to avoid accountebility..that is a a form of female power/ toxic femininity.

Growing up in France, I came from a non-religious family. We weren’t even familiar with the concept of atheism. My French mother also came from a non-religious background, going back several generations, I believe. It wasn’t until much later that I learned my Dutch father was religious-Lutheran, according to my mother, who mentioned it once! Strangely enough, both my Dutch grandparents were also non-religious. As far as I can remember, the environment in France where I grew up was largely secular. When we moved to the Netherlands in 1970, I was surprised to find that most people there were either Catholic or Protestant. However, nowadays, most of the people I know who were once religious no longer are. What I find interesting is that many people who grew up with religious beliefs, even if they no longer practice, still hold onto certain superstitions. Having been raised without any form of mysticism, my mind remains free of such influences.

Chiming in as an agnostic woman: seeing as religious systems have failed my gender the world over, and that many of their care functions have been subsumed by different organizations and experiences (e.g. food banks, nursing homes, hospitals, the awe from nature), it's been difficult for me to see religion as true or faith as beneficial to my life. Does it help if it's the same people over and over? Maybe. Might it be because I'm neurodivergent and can't really imagine a sentient being playing with us like poker chips? Maybe. But if the poker chips are Also, a combination of psychotherapy and learning about stochastic processes has helped me come to terms with bad things happening and how to make the best of them. Witnessing our own human processes have godlike power (as a collective) and awe fulfills the endorphin generating niche as well. Regarding social consequences - OH BOY. I can't exactly tell my fellow South Asian diaspora friends that I'm atheist. In fact, the stereotype of India being particularly spiritual checks out because of the marked lack of people who identify as agnostic or atheist because they grew up with particular faith traditions and those are reinforced in public or school holidays (especially Hindu). I'm the kind of atheist that's the patriarchy's worst nightmare: overeducated, overthinking, overweening atheist cat lady.

I came here thanks to the genetically modified skepticic. Great video. Keep it up.

Well, the two most prominent atheists in America (in the mid to late 20th centuries) -- Madelyn O'Hair and Ayn Rand -- were both women.
