This is news that is probably not all that surprising to most people: men are less likely to embrace religion than women. There have been a number of studies conducted that have confirmed this fact. A survey by Ellison Research found that almost one third ― 31 percent of men — never attend church, even on holidays.
These figures are very striking and revelatory. Most of us would likely not dispute the fact that a sizable percentage of men spend their Sundays satisfying their cravings for sports, beer and catching up on sleep loss during the week. Attending Sunday worship is not on their list. That being said, the fact is that there is another segment of men who do not follow such a regimen yet still do not attend church. Among the likely reasons for this situation are:
1. Men are looking for relevance.
2. Their fathers did not attend church.
3. Many men want to be seen as successful.
4. Many men, particularly younger men, want to be challenged.
5. Many men have lost faith in God or do not believe in God.
