Why is the suicide rate so high among atheists?

I'm aware of findings such as those, but one thing I've never heard allowed for is the percentage of religious people who won't admit their depression. They view it as a spiritual failing and try to pray it away and telling everyone they're fine. I was a Christian for decades and in lay ministry part of that time.

Depression is rampant. I've seen a lot of it first hand.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
