Atheists don't have a particularly high suicide rate, but it is higher than in religious societies; it's likely because most religions consider suicide wrong and that acts as a deterrent.
When developing data of this nature many researchers ignore the composition if the population being studies. As an example Scandinavia's have high rate of suicide and are generally prone to be atheist. This fact is seized on as proof of atheist suicidal inclinations.
