Is the reason women are more active in the Church because the Church is ``alienating'' men, or is their a reason that women, by nature, are more likely to be active in the Church[or religion in general?] then men, especially during youth?

I don't know. It is hard for me to see how a Church who's heirachy is all men could be "alienating" to men. Even so, men don't participate in the same numbers as women and I believe this has been the case for a very long time. It would seem the Catholic church itself would be interested in the whys of this situation.
