Not ALL religions assign gender to their deities. And some religions have balance by having a god and a goddess.
But I agree with your basic point that Christianity/Islam/Judaism is a bit unbalanced in the gender department.

Jesus the second person of the Trinity is male. The Holy spirit and God the Father have no sexuality. That is called anthropromorphism.

I believe in the energy behind the man made god/dess. It is neither male nor female, and at the same time male and female.

"Inerrant" - free from error; infallible.
Now that I know what that word means, I don't understand the entire question...

God is God........
God is light.......
Light casts no shadow.........
Anything that casts a shadow has to have form.......
God is formless.......
God is neither male or female, because God has no form.......
Religions were formed by man, thus they fall prey to error.

God is not male - we only use "he" because it is easy. He is neither.
The only reason why jesus was male was cos that is the only way he would be heard - you know how it was back then.
