Yet the Force is strong in many of us. Is that because we are on the good side of the force? lol

Feminism is different in different cultures. American women tend to be self-centered, non-religious and generally faithless while saying at the same time they are a member of a denomination. European women tend to be athiests and all the above as well. Also, men are feminists if they relate.
Unless there is a clear defininition as to which feminists and whate are their common beliefs, it is very hard to answer the question without segmenting this way.
My own estimation is that feminism is losing ground to civil rights. The gay movements are experiencing this too.
Once we stop labeling people, then we can deal with cultural types, i.e., overly masculine female personalities in feminine bodies, American and West-European predatory women, and their impact on social order.
Look at it this way: American women like to be "on-of-the-boys" when they need something they can only get from men. Example, they tell "blonde jokes" to the men.
A French women, on the other hand, is far too feminine to engage a man that way and perhaps believes it was a good idea the French attempted to make those jokes illegal. They get what they want with misdirection, suggesting they are promising romance and sex, when in private they claim not to have a clue what the fellow means. Clever game.
The clear difference between the American and French women can be seen. They achieve equality very differently. American women have become men inside women's bodies, and French women use deception to get what they feel was theirs already (and they are right).
Once you see this, you see how God and belief in God can be applied. Western feminists in general do not believe in God and break down into two categories: the ones who don't believe but are unprepared to be labeled an atheist, and the ones who could care less about the label, and hold out the suggestion they could become believers if the right person comes into their life.
My preference is for the feminine type. I know she's an athiest and love is physical for her, not metaphysical. I love the way she lives the lie. The lie that we are "soulmates" and the way she dresses for church. I can deal with it because I understand it.
I don't like American female culture. It seems to be overly masturbatory and somewhat fraudulent. Feminist women have no real connection to males, even their sons or brothers or fathers. It is a "girlfriend" culture. The impact of present day family structure has done this. There is no family which prays together, believers or not. It's a single-mom culture.
In America, feminism is well defined as "men, the Enemy".
In Western Europe, feminism is more a cold war of the sexes punctuated by highly charged episodic sexuality.
Australia and New Zealand seem to be split between the two and have both types, whereas the Yankee type is the vast majotity of young (under 50) American women, the Western-Euro type in America tend to be immigrants, that is. In Western Europe, there tends to be great variety as to sub-types of feminists all a part of the deceptive, sexually manipulative feminist I have tried to describe. And variety of females is a good thing.
A closing thought, men have created these archtypes through their behavior and a hypocritical practice of religion. It is pretty well established that God centered people feel liberated and can assure their equality through negotiation without resorting to political psycho-social movements. Perhaps because they love differently.

thats kind of like asking- how can a gay man be catholic. they do not necessarily go hand in hand. just because you have one lifestyle chouce (feminist) does not mean you cannot have other parts to the way you live your life. also many other people aside from feminists do not believe in God. not everyone needs to have a fait of any kind.

u do not understand darth. feminists use the force that has been within them for centuries. i think your helmet is on too tight or your bio-mechanical head needs an adjustment. what does being a feminist have to do with being or not being an atheist or agnostic. better have that death star adjusted evil one, i think its pulling a bit too far to the right. sic semper tyrannis.

It's better for feminists to believe in God then for them to believe in you, Darth.

Some feminists do, but I don't. I'm happy being an atheist.

i beleive in God, i'm a man, and i am a feminist. sure i see why not. although alot of feminist women try to be "better" than men, which isn't really uhh i dunno Godly, wheras i see them as "equal status" with men. men and women were created equal in the eyes of God, and i believe anyone who tries to prove their equality (without trying to become superior to anyone) is doing the right thing. because everyone is equal.

Organised religion has been in a state of decline for decades now. Personally, I don't believe in the supernatural. Fairytales and no evidence.

I believe.
I find your lack of intellect disturbing, as well.
Good Luck
