There are some denominations of Christianity that require women to wear skirts or dresses, but a denomination is not the same thing as an entire religion. Islamic women usually must wear a long robe that is skirt-like, as well as a scarf over their heads. Pentecostal/Apostolic women also wear long skirts. If you are wondering why Pentecostal women do this, check out Deuteronomy 22:5, which reads: The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so [are] abomination unto the LORD thy God. Pentecostals believe that pants are meant for men, and therefore women should not wear them.
