A quick google search found this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26743877
It would be interesting to compare that to a similar study done in an atheist-majority country. It's not very surprising that small, widely despised minority would not be as healthy as a large majority.
Maybe the correct answer is: Theism does not make a person mentally ill, and neither does atheism.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
