Mental Health
editRegarding: " Mental disorders (particularly depression and substance abuse) are associated with more than 90% of all cases of suicide.[1] "
The statement was offensive suggesting that a person commiting suicide with very high probability suffers from a mental disorder. There wasn't any fact on the linked page to back this up. In fact the linked page is very biased and there is no way they could make a reliable research on this topic.

Atheist states and suicide
editWell, the part about the PRC and its suicide rate is no longer valid as of 2016, according to [article]. Nowadays, there are many more deaths by suicide in the US, which is not particularly atheist... So I guess suicide rate and the fact that a country is atheist or not is not relevant. The article should instead focus on social and economic, as well as interpersonal issues, rather than stating that religious states protects from suicide more than secular states.
