Women Nonbelievers Still Face Intolerance, Despite Growing Numbers
<p>Today, when <a href="https://www.pewforum.org/2021/12/14/about-three-in-ten-u-s-adults-are-now-religiously-unaffiliated/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">three in 10 Americans</a> are religiously unaffiliated, one might reasonably expect acceptance of nonbelievers. It seems fair to imagine freethinking women — many of whom have <a href="https://relevantmagazine.com/faith/church/why-are-so-many-single-women-are-leaving-the-church/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">abandoned their churches</a> and <a href="https://www.chron.com/culture/article/Evangelical-women-deconstruction-religion-17012629.php" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">are deconstructing</a> extreme forms of faith— might finally enjoy a broader level of inclusion and tolerance in society. Yet many nonreligious women still experience the sting of stigma, not only while in public fights for progress, but in smaller, often more hurtful ways: in how they are treated at work, by new friends, or within groups of other nonbelievers.</p>
