Well, it very much depends what you mean by patriarchial religions; actually, it doesn't, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. My point being that the situation of 'religion' is equally as complex as the construction of gender; religion 'discriminates against women' is as much of a truism as 'all men are rapists'. There are thousands upon thousands of venerated women in most churches, and the history of women's writing is nothing in the west without the church. That's not to exonerate religion of its role, but it is definitely to posit a much more complex situation than you're positing.
