[[Image:Desperation_man.jpg |thumb|right|200px|Pitzer College sociologist Phil Zuckerman declared concerning suicide rates: "this is the one indicator of societal health in which religious nations fare much better than secular nations." Please see: [[Atheism and depression]] and [[Atheism and suicide]] ]]
The [[Atheist Population|atheist population]] has a higher suicide rate than theists (see: [[Atheism and suicide]]).
Survey data and website tracking data of prominent [[atheism|atheists]]' websites indicate that in the [[Western World]], atheism appears to be significantly less appealing to women (see: [[Atheism appears to be significantly less appealing to women]]).<ref>http://www.americanreligionsurvey-aris.org/reports/NONES_08.pdf</ref><ref>http://www.livescience.com/culture/090227-religion-men-women.html</ref><ref>http://www.conservapedia.com/Atheism_appears_to_be_significantly_less_appealing_to_women</ref>
''Science Daily'' reports:
{{cquote|Many studies have identified a strong link between suicide and diagnosable mental illness, especially depression. So because women suffer from depression at a much higher rate than men, they would seem to be at higher risk for suicide. But women actually commit suicide about one-fourth as often as men.<ref>http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1998/11/981112075159.htm</ref>}}
