It is more favorable for the development of organic molecules.

Explanation:

A reduced type of atmosphere is a oxygen limited atmosphere. Biologists have theorized many assumptions regarding the origin of life on Earth. They concluded that the reduction processes in a reduced atmosphere favor the production of organic molecules and probably this reduced atmosphere had set the stage for life back then.
