Q. Why is God in Christianity often portrayed as a male?

A.
In the past, men were considered superior to women. Therefore, people painted God who created everything as a man who thought he was superior. In addition, it could have been used as a basis for the argument that men are superior by painting God as men.
Another reason is that in the past, people used to be called 'men', not 'human'. This indicates that he is a basic man when thinking about people. Therefore, God with the shape of a man may have thought he was basically a man.
