→Sparsity of large atheist gatherings and lack of atheist revivals
{{cquote|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. No differences in the level of subjective and objective depression, hopelessness, or stressful life events were found.<ref>[http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/article.aspx?articleID=177228 Religious affiliation and suicide attempts]</ref><ref>[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15569904 Religious affiliation and suicide attempts]</ref>}}
