Which leads me to my final point: it’s no revelation that a lot of women in professional-managerial roles and the broader college-educated segment are not exactly enamored of conservative religious views regarding sexuality, abortion, and the role of women more broadly. Perhaps it’s also no surprise that these women would be less receptive on average to religion in general, or at the very least don’t feel that they should regularly attend worship services or actively belong to any particular religion.
Now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever seen a survey with a gender breakdown of mainline-to-none drifters. I'd be interested, although as I keep saying I'm not entirely convinced there's a complete correspondence between degree of "liberalism" in a political sense and likelihood of taking that trajectory anyway.
