Atheists and suicide
#25
RE: Atheists and suicide
I actually think religion itself can be to blame for higher suicide rates in atheists. Religion promises people so much: love from the creator of the universe, eternal life, eternal happiness, no more suffering, being able to see loved ones again, and so much more. It promises people so much, and then when they learn none of it's true, it's all ripped from their hand. How do you expect people to react to that? I bet you that atheists who were never religious don't have higher suicide rates.
