Women remain more interested in faith than men, both in the United States and around the world, according to Pew Research.
Six in 10 U.S. women say religion is very important in their lives, while two-thirds pray daily and 4 in 10 say they go to services at least once a week.
Among American men, fewer than half (47 percent) say religion matters to them. About half pray daily, and one-third say they go to church weekly.
There’s a similar gap worldwide. Pew estimates religious women outnumber men by about 97 million worldwide. The gap in church attendance and practice is particularly evident.
A recent Lifeway Research survey found a majority of women (51 percent) prefer to talk about their faith more than political issues, while a majority of men (69 percent) say they’d rather discuss politics.
