Isn't suicide a sin?
In some, rather, most denominations of xtianity, suicide is a sin that will provide you a one-way ticket to hell. The religions and denominations that don't consider it a sin generally look down on the practice as the "ending of a life ordained by God as God's child", or something like the destruction of "God's temple".
I don't see religious people killing themselves as much as the nonreligious, but, as a wise man was once paraphrased, that "isn't any more to to the point than the fact that the intoxicated are more happy than the sober".
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
