Re: Sins
I literally just did that. I provided an insight into Japanese culture. It is not their lack of religiosity that is the reason for their high suicide rates. I even provided a reason for why lower suicide rates are present in extremely religious countries, so I was able to digest it and provide an explanation. All you can do is yak about “hurr durr look at all these non religious countries have high suicides rates it must be because they do not adhere religion herp derp” and then try to trivialize how arduous academics are in Japan and the pressure to succeed and conform.
You are acting like there were no explanations given and that I keep repeating “correlation =/=causation.” I even used your own source against you, but I guess if you ignore what I post you can continue to act like nothing was provided lmao.
Again,** from your own source
***“It **is important to keep in mind that atheism and agnosticism have no inherent proscription against suicide, so higher rates of suicide among agnostics and atheists should in no way be considered a failure of these belief systems. **Indeed, compassionate tolerance for suicide and euthenasia are widely regarded as hallmarks of many secular societies.******The list of countries with the highest levels of atheism, agnosticism and non-belief in God (see: Largest Atheist Populations , reporting lists by Zuckerman, 2005, and Greeley/Jagodzinski, 1991) strongly correlates with countries that have the most liberal (or “progressive”) laws, policies and practices regarding right-to-die, assisted suicide, and euthenasia for infants, the terminally ill, chronic pain sufferers, the handicapped, and depressed individuals. Zuckerman (2005) listed the top countries with the highest levels of atheism and non-religiousness as: Sweden, Vietnam, Denmark, Norway, Japan, Czech Republic, Finland, France, South Korea, Estonia, Germany, Russia, Hungary, Netherlands, Britain and Belgium (highest by level of non-belief, with Sweden being the highest).”
That just proves that there are suicides but they are assisted or systematic.
