sure, there are religions and 'spiritual' beliefs that include 'goddesses' among their pantheons, but that's not what i'm referring to... perhaps i need to make that clearer in the line you quote?

Ah. I thought you'd referred to all religions collectively. As a monothiestic religion goes, especially established Western religion, you're right. No female deities. Though God, in the church I went to at least, was called "He" but it was a gender-nonspecific "He."

Dunno if that counts for much.

I think that at this point in human "evolution," or existence, we need to realize that a belief system where 50% do not believe, or hold any real faith, is actually a hindrance to society as whole. This is because most people know that only one thing could save us is a heavenly miracle. People don't change, they fall back on a belief system, but not out of true faith, but, rather to comfort them in their confusion, and keep them from having to do the truly hard things, like accepting responsibility for what they do in life: with the knowledge that no ones going to clean it up behind them.
