Quote:I must disagree here with what you say, after five plus years here most of the atheist who have come here have express they are currently depressed ( at the time they are here) and some talk about ending their lives, the facts from this forum alone are against your statement Rhonda.
AF is far too small a statistical universe from which to conclude that non-theists tend more towards depression than theists (in all fairness, the reverse is also true).
I've had depressive episodes in my life - the death of my father, the ending of certain relationships, the loss of dear friends, etc. But my atheism can hardly said to have been the source of my depression.
