9. Believing God wants you to dominate your wife adds an extra layer of force

If you think you have a God-given right to something, you do it with a clear conscience no matter who gets hurt. A woman with a God-given duty to submit is also less likely to stand up for herself. And your church community will say you both are doing the right thing.

But atheist misogynists are on their own. No God to salve their conscience or to provide the "I'm just following orders," excuse.
