You just haven't been that honest as you claim.
Just look at prisons, they are filled with religious people and rarely with atheists.

Yeah, atheism leads to depression because atheists don't listen to Jesus who is saying to people to hate their own life, family, friends, and everyone and everything else.
The truth is that you have been brainwashed into your religion. The mantra of every religion is "you can not be happy without our religion", so just a Scientologists think that you are miserable because you don't practice dianetics, you think that atheists are miserable because they don't follow Jesus's teachings of hating their own life and family.
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"
