Women have always been a little more religious than men. That changed with those under 40.

Now we see women are more likely to be evangelical.

Men are more likely to be Catholic.

Men are much more likely to be atheists, as well.

Part of the holiness of God means he is this particular God, the Holy One of Israel, who has acted in particular ways in history like the exodus and the exile. And he’s spoken in particular ways as in the 10 Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount. much harder to put words into his mouth.
People have no qualms with a “Higher Power” that is functionally powerless and/or over which they can exert power (i.e., manipulate).
