If it wasn't for religion

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

I see quite a lot more people quitting life after seeing the misery of it if it wasn't for religion . Being born in post collapse ex soviet state(Imagine the collapse of UK or US), I think a lot of poor people getting disappointed in life would just quit it if it wasn't for invisible happy land and painful land waiting for them.

I think this is probably true, especially since many of the Western religions characterize suicide as a mortal sin.  This has the net effect of forcing people to wallow in unimaginable misery in the hope of heaven, as they are prevented from easing their own suffering by the fear of hell (the Hindu caste system does much the same thing).

Thank you, religion.  Thank you so bloody much.
