Your "religion" includes  Roman Catholicism, the Church of Latter Day
Saints, Christian Scientists, Watchtower Society, Russian Orthodox,
Anglican, Coptic, Quakers, and Amish?

Christianity, like Islam, has a lot of branches and you could say almost
anything about Christianity and some sects it would be true in and others it
would not.  It would be accurate to say "Jesus Christ is not divine" and
"Jesus Christ is divine" and different sects hold this to be true.  It would
also be true to say that Christianity is a driving force in the United
States towards pushing women out of work and into the home, is opposed to
women having access to birth control, and is opposed to abortion in all
cases, and that women should be totally subservient to men, and that if you
are moral, you don't need a doctor because Jesus will provide.  The opposite
could also be said and be equally as true.   If you want to see how two
opposite sides have aspects of the truth, look at
Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Abortion/Evidence<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Abortion/Evidence>
 .

Anyone have any stats regarding female participation on Wikipedia by
religion?  Most of the data I've seen suggests about 45%/45% split between
Christians and Atheists as contributors on Wikipedia, with non-Christian
pockets in countries outside Europe and North America.
