That article talks about atheists being surrounded with religious people who are bullying them and therefore being prone to suicide. I mean even on this forum we saw that some atheists can't admit the truth to their surroundings and have to pretend to believe in god, participate in rituals and other bullshit.
Also your argument is the same as Christians do for gays that homosexuality is making you kill yourself while gays are prone to suicide because religious people are bullying them.
Otherwise there is nothing in the atheism itself or in homosexuality that makes people want to kill them selves.
Look it this way: the happiest nations in the world are those where people are least religious, like Scandinavia, Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland.
And yet the least-happy nations on earth are highly religious societies with virtually no atheists, like Congo, Zimbabwe, and Burundi.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
