Any religion which assigns attributes of "god" only to males is a misogynist religion. It teaches an entire culture to view females as lesser beings.
It doesn't matter if you associate with "liberal" versions of this religion. If you hold a belief in a god that is only presented as male, you're engaging in misogyny, too, even if you claim you are a feminist.
Since there is no historical validity to the claims of the nature of god for any of these religions, women choose to reinforce misogyny by choosing to associate with those religions that present god as a male.
So, honestly, they have no business claiming they speak for feminism when they align with the most misogynist institutions in the history of the world.
