Some years ago, I saw the statement "A man without a god is like a fish
without a bicycle," before I ever saw the version above.  I suspect the
women's movement borrowed this idea.  The "man without a god" line is
definitely more time-honoured than the "woman without a man" line.
The original statement never caught on, probably because it is
unfashionable to admit to being an atheist in some parts of North America.
