To make it slightly more interesting look at the edges. I'm not saying it's related to religion but at least there is a correlation

    Nah, it's largely driven by poverty and war and traditional gender roles. Men move abroad looking for work, leaving their wives back home to maintain the rest of the family. Men seek a temporary escape from poverty by abusing alcohol and drugs, or engaging in other high-risk activities. Men die fighting in the military.

    These are cultural spheres and i suspect that's the driver. Both religion and male:female ratios are downstream of culture, so of course religion and gender ratios correlate.

    Iran's 103 is especially telling - a gulf state, as muslim a nation as any of the other overwhelming male gulf states, but with thousands of years of persian cultural heritage seperating them from their predominantly arab neighbours.

    Also interesting that every country in the extreme, is a country I would never choose to visit as a tourist.

    But most of those countries are worth visiting. Some not at the moment but all of them interesting. For example, Georgia is stunning.
