@Patrick: when HE has not gender, why then HE and not SHE or IT?
@Edna: what do you want report me for? Don't you think that women also created by God? When he created only women like you decribe, guess he didn't do a good job. Is that what you trying to say?

Yes. Wicca and Paganism. In fact...
The earliest archaeological evidence points to the belief in a Great Mother Goddess.

In traditional Samkhya philosophy (Indian), purusa, or soul, spirit, was considered to be male, and prakrti, or material, was considered to be female. This philosophy exists today in Samkhya-Yoga philosophy, and was the basis for the evolution of Tantric thought.
In Hindu religion, there are many female Gods.
Shiva is definitely not one of them. But his wife Parvati would be.

Why would God have a gender? Is He planning on meeting a girl God and making a bunch of little Godlings?

God is a spirit. His son Jesus came to Earth as a man though

In Wicca, the Goddess is revered as the most powerful force.

There are Christians who would argue that their god is female. There are also those who argue that their god is neither or both sexes.
IMHO, it doesn't make sense to attribute a sex to a supernatural being unless you understand its biology, if it has any.

Any polytheistic religion
Anyone in any monotheistic religion can say that 'god is a woman', even though it might not be popular
