Not everybody see their lives as a big genetic experiment where their goal is to out-breed the opponents.
This isn’t about out-breeding opponents. This is about the consequences of dysgenic selection against intelligence.

As Yvain pointed out in his post on a similar topic, far more women than men go to church across all denominations, including ones that don’t even let women in leadership positions. I recommend you update your model about what kinds of things drive off women.

People who go to church are unlikely to visit this forum to begin with.
Then again, medicine doesn’t disproportionately drive off women either, and I’m not under the impression that doctors are less likely to be atheistic/rationalistic/high-Openness/etc. than the general population (indeed, they include 1.9% of LW survey respondents, which is about one order of magnitude higher than my out-of-my-ass^WFermi estimate for the general population).

Not much more likely either it seems. Doctors are a very diverse population, probably not many generalizations you can make about rationalism on that front.

Perhaps, but there is always the odd statistical outlier. I go to church every week, and I visit this forum, for example.
I also go to church regularly. Albeit it is a Unitarian Universalist church, and I am an atheist.
