Shouldn't the right to die be a human right?

Yes, but the argument is that swallowing a bunch of pills can be painful or dangerous if they get very sick before dying. And also, it may not be successful. That's why people are advocating for assisted suicide where all it takes is one pill to just put you to sleep until you die without pain.

I never imagined not wanting people who are depressed to go and hurt themselves as being a specifically religious thing. I always just thought it was a human thing. Heck, we've done it here!

The way I think about it if we legalize assisted suicide then our government would do everything in its power to prevent people from being depressed in the first place.

Besides, it's not in our power to dictate what another human being chooses to do with their body. Their body, their decision.
