There has been Muslim philosophers who mulled over what God is and some say It, is female because of Its penchant for perfumes and beauty.

My take on it is that most atheists have almost no knowledge whatsoever of Pagans as modern spirituality practitioners. So when they use the word "religion," what they mean in toto is daddy/sky/war-god religion. It's all they know. It's the same as if everything in the world were red.
