Are angels mentioned in the Bible as always being masculine? Yes. God's good angels have always appeared as men and never as women. Also, it is an assumption to assume they are genderless. Especially when they look like men and have male names. The reason why most folks think they are genderless is because of the verse that says they are not given in marriage in Heaven (Matthew 22:30). This does not mean they are genderless. It simply means that they are commanded by God not to marry in Heaven. Just because someone is forbidden to marry doesn't mean they don't have the capacity to have the benefits of marriage. Think about it. I imagine, angels in Heaven are also commanded by God not to steal either. Yet they have hands to steal. Does this mean that angels don't have hands then? In fact, many people think humans have organs in their body that serve no purpose. However, if you were to look deeper and do some research, each organ in your body does serve a purpose. So these angels might be identical to men in every respect and they might even have male organs, but their non use or function is simply unknown to us. However, the majority of them don't have a desire to use those organs because it doesn't really benefit them in the long run in any way. The reason why I think that angels may not be genderless is because the "sons of God" (a possible second group of good angels) had left their original habitation (i.e. Heaven) to be with the daughters of men during Noah's time. Many believe these "sons of God" were already fallen angels (or demons) which came unto the daughters of men. However, the name: "sons of God" is a positive name and does not suggest the naming of a demon or a dark spirit. I believe this was a second group of good angels that had rebelled against God and did that which was forbidden. Hence, why this particular group of angels are currently being bound by chains within a pit of darkness for the Judgment. Their punishment was more harsh not only because they mated with human females but because they were willing to rebel against God knowing full well the consequences of what their actions would hold for them because of the 1st group of angels that rebelled. ...

If you are not religious, then how can you wright a religious story? That would be like a penguin writing a story about flying. It is a bird, but it can not fly. And there are thousands of references to angels in the Bible. I would suggest that you get a KJV and study it, do not just read it, study it.
