Zone1 Dismal, Suicidal Atheism

Religiously unaffiliated subjects had significantly more lifetime suicide attempts and more first-degree relatives who committed suicide than subjects who endorsed a religious affiliation. Unaffiliated subjects were younger, less often married, less often had children, and had less contact with family members. Furthermore, subjects with no religious affiliation perceived fewer reasons for living, particularly fewer moral objections to suicide. In terms of clinical characteristics, religiously unaffiliated subjects had more lifetime impulsivity, aggression, and past substance use disorder. - Religious Affiliation and Suicide Attempt, American Journal of Psychiatry, December, 2004

From my book, Brilliant Creations - The Wonder of Nature and Life, page 5
And Dr. Melvin Morse, in his book, "Transformed By The Light" referred to a study done on people who had recently attempted suicide. One group of subjects were simply given near death experience accounts to read and zero people from that group attempted suicide again during the duration of that study.

It seems that giving people some hope that there could be an afterlife may be an effective treatment for suicidal tendencies.
