I would think it more along the lines of beliving miracles of (another religion) your own how have to support the miracle claims of others ........

You just draw a different conclusion about the "Truth" .

No, I think women respond to the social aspects of religion, think of all the cultures you know, where religious orgs are populated by women but led by men. Believing for women is a social act, for men, an intellectual commitment. Gross generalization, of course.....

I would think the lower levels of belief among white males with impressive degrees after their names could be explained by a tendency among those for whom the world is their oyster to prefer to think they owe their position to hard work and brains rather than to Providence.

Yep. Men's values tend to be more materialistic (in the sense that appreciate money and property) and more individual-oriented: men see themselves as Lonely Heroes, who don't need help from others. Men are encouraged to take a no-nonsense approach to life, to ignore emotions and other "fuzzy" things.

Of course, this is just a sterotype, and many men do not fit into it.
