Christianity is a composite of many beliefs, bound under one heading. So a reference to "he" is non specific and will allow for a smoother conversation.
As an example "I think he will be a great president".
For me "he" means one thing for you perhaps another. But "we", can agree that "he", will make a great president.
Additionally its Proper English to assume the masculine when the gender is not known.

25 "To whom will you compare me?
Who is my equal?" asks the Holy One.
26 Look up into the heavens.
Who created all the stars?
He brings them out like an army, one after another,
calling each by its name. Isaiah 40
11 Women should learn quietly and submissively.12 I do not let women teach men or have authority over them. Let them listen quietly.13 For God made Adam first, and afterward he made Eve.14 And it was not Adam who was deceived by Satan. The woman was deceived, and sin was the result.15 But women will be saved through childbearing, assuming they continue to live in faith, love, holiness, and modesty.
1 timothy 2
what can I say?

Because he is easiest to type he rather than he/she or (s)he.
I accept that it is a big problem and wish we had in English a pronoun to use.
Most religions focus on the male because they came into being in a patriarchal society when women were treated as property. You might judge that for their time both Judaism and Christianity were relatively enlightened.
Today the battle goes on. The Church of England now has women priests but sadly it doesn't yet have women bishops

it might be because women were always seen as inferior by Christianity we didn`t actually have a soul until something like the 17th or 18th century when men decided we could have one .so God had to be male

I refer to her as
he: on even weekdays
she/he/it on sundays in the months that have an R in their name
she: on all other days.
Except on the days I say he/she/it does not exist
Happy New Year!

It is the English language. When gender is unknown, it is a "He". Since spirit creatures have no gender, no male or female, and you don't refer to God as an "IT", God is a "He".
