Abstract

In Western societies, women are consistently shown to have stronger religious beliefs and engage in religious participation and devotion more frequently than men. Sociologist and psychologists have explored several possible explanations for these differences, including women's higher levels of family involvement, lower rates of labor force participation, higher rates of deprivation, and greater health risks earlier in life due to childbirth.
