Atheism, obesity and self-esteem
See also: Atheism and obesity and Atheism, obesity and self-esteem
Obese individuals can have lower self-esteem related to their obesity.[9] In the United States, obese people are often stereotyped as being "lazy, lacking self-discipline and being mentally slow".[10] Poor self-esteem has been linked to an increase in suicide attempts and atheists have higher rates of suicide than the general population.[11][12][13] Obese atheists likely have significantly higher rates of suicide than the general public.
