Are you reading my comments?
A main method of con artists when dealing with women is to play to their emotions....which the church does very well......and one source of that is to surround them with as many women as possible to feel at home. The church actually steers Black men away, so they can have the church strictly woman dominated......But you have to use the man and race that has the power in society and put him in as a "God" in her mind and she'll always see Black men as beneath .
Where is this stat from?

none of which is needed by "churches"
Theres tons of other organizations for that.
Cause we need to admit that magical thinking isn't helping.
umm I answered your question and your rebuttal doesn't have anything to do with what you asked

There are books and countless polls and articles about it.
Black women are RADICALLY more religious than any other demographic.

Gender
As in the population overall, African-American men are significantly more likely than women to be unaffiliated with any religion (16% vs. 9%). African-American women are somewhat more likely than African-American men to describe themselves as Protestant (82% of women vs. 72% of men). Among African-American women, 62% are members of historically black Protestant churches, 16% are affiliated with evangelical churches and 4% are mainline Protestant; among men, 55% are members of historically black churches, 14% are evangelical and 4% are mainline Protestant.
African-American women also stand out for their high level of religious commitment. More than eight-in-ten black women (84%) say religion is very important to them, and roughly six-in-ten (59%) say they attend religious services at least once a week. No group of men or women from any other racial or ethnic background exhibits comparably high levels of religious observance.
Age
African-Americans are more likely to be affiliated with a faith compared with the public overall, but as with the general population, younger African-Americans are more likely than their older counterparts to report being unaffiliated with a religion. For example, nearly one-in-five African-Americans under age 30 (19%) are unaffiliated, compared with just 7% of African-Americans who are age 65 and older.

Why I stopped going to church.
Bishop had a refrigerator fund for a new fridge. Kept asking for money for the church's gas bill (the bill never went down), last straw for me was him asking for money for him and his wife to go on separate vacations. London and Hawaii.
The main thing I hated was that he used people's faith against them, saying that if they cared enough for god, they would give the money.
Needless to say, that church's membership has dropped dramatically, 25-40 people show up every Sunday now.
the internet is the best thing that happened to the black church
