This is completely backwards - you're complaining about untargeted ads, based only on the rough context of the page you're on.

Properly-targeted ads would know you're a) female and b) an atheist and show appropriate advertising if any was available.

Removing the UDID does nothing to prevent the type of ads you're complaining about - they work off of context, and context is always available to the ad server - but it does prevent ad targeting from getting better.
