Gender and Religion: Deconstructing Universality, Constructing Complexity1 (2006, methodology): “These ex post facto speculations are rightly criticized (by Cornwall 1989; Miller and Stark 2002) as vague or tautalogical.”
Why Liberals and Atheists Are More Intelligent (2010, background): “Once again, despite the fact that past studies show that women are much more religious than men (Miller and Hoffmann 1995; Miller and Stark 2002), adolescent intelligence is twice as strong an influence on adult religiosity as sex (–.1821 vs. –.0910).”
Subjective Religiosity and Depression in the Transition to Adulthood (2005, background): “In line with recent work suggesting that the functions and health relevance of religiosity vary by gender (Krause, Ellison, and Marcum 2002; Miller and Stark 2002; Mirola 1999), we consider gender differences in the contribution of subjective religiosity in accounting for psychological distress.”
