Atheism clearly has a shortage of womenfolk and I suspect "Becky" was nothing more than a male atheist wiki dweller trying to gain mercy from the 90/10 rule (see: [[Atheism and women]]). It is kind of like male Muslims sneaking out of an area and avoiding capture wearing a burka!

| | :::That's a somewhat circular (as well as an irrelevant) argument. You're saying that since you believe there are few women atheists, then anyone you suspect of being an atheist (and Becky said nothing to suggest that she was) cannot be a woman. And thus your belief that there are few women atheists is reinforced. But if you're focussing on my use of the feminine pronoun, you really are missing the point. --[[User:QPR|QPR]] 14:05, 2 January 2012 (EST) | | :::That's a somewhat circular (as well as an irrelevant) argument.
