Son . You're argument is basically saying nations with higher secularism/atheism directly correlate to higher suicide rates, however. If you only nitpick properly, the Countries that top the list in which you've shown are in fact one of the most religious countries on earth this completely contradicts your original claim of atheism causing higher suicide rates, Greece sits at 71% in the list and it is heavily religious and (90% orthodox). romania follows suit at 69% and it is also one of the most religious countries in europe (over 80% being orthodox) while Netherlands, Sweden and denmark score 50%,45% and 44% respectively and ironically these are one of the least religious countries in Europe and one of the highest secular populations—Wait what about the other countries such as poland who's the lowest in the list but is highly religious and the UK which sits very high and is one of the fastest growing secular/atheist groups in Europe? or spain which was one of the lowest suicide rates in Europe and is also highly catholic? some highly religious countries rank very high in the list while some highly religious countries rank low in the list The same goes for more secular nations. And this further contradicts your claim that atheism increases suicide rates, if we were to take that at face value then logically the rankings should be a perfect linear ranking not a distribution mess. Netherlands, sweden and denmark should rank at the top while greece, Bulgaria and france should rank at the bottom. They should all cluster in their respective rankings but that is untrue because it unsupported and reductive, Many factors contribute to suicide not just beliefs. If we zoom out globally it becomes more apparent how crappy your logic is. Lesotho, eswatini, guyana are deeply religious nations yet rank high in suicide rates, this shows that religion alone is not the only factor. South korea and japan being mostly secular has a high suicide rates as well but this is mostly caused by academic pressure and grueling working culture, so what does this entail? Religion and beliefs is an unreliable filter for determining suicide rates. Therefore Correlation isn't causation.
