Research shows women have worse health outcomes when they belong to sexist religious institutions, whereas they have a health advantage when they belong to inclusive religious institutions. Different religious institutions have no or marginal health effects for men.

This is why I'm thankful I lived in Canada at the time I was married to my NVM ex husband and not the states. He gave me shit about needing a ride to the hospital. Just a car ride, and complained about gas money spent. Imagine if we had to pay for emergency room visits or doctor appointments, he'd be all about "wasting money" on me.

I bet a lot of these religious institutions try to "pray away" women's illness while allowing the men medical care. Not to mention abuse literally hits a biological self-destruct button in women's bodies; cancer, heart disease, autoimmune disease, etc. Misogyny steered me clear away from religion in all forms.

Could this explain part of black women’s health outcomes in the US? The Evangelical sector is very frequented by black female Christians. Meanwhile the church gives them nothing back.
