What religion have the highest percentage of suicides in the past 50 years?

Answer 1

In several demographic studies, suicide and religion have been shown to be inversely proportional, with religious individuals less likely to attempt or commit suicide than atheist/agnostic individuals. There is also a correlation between suicide rates and rates of religious practice across countries. It does not matter what religion and there are no known published studies comparing the major religions on suicide rates.

Most ethnographers suggest that the lower rate of suicide among religious people is due to the prohibition of suicide by most of the world's major religions.

Answer 2

There is no reliable data to suggest that any specific religion has the highest percentage of suicides over the past 50 years. Suicide rates are influenced by a variety of factors such as mental health, socio-economic status, and cultural norms, rather than just religious affiliation. It's important to approach this issue with sensitivity and consider the complex factors that contribute to suicide.

Answer 3

Among the most common faith groups in the U.S., Protestants have the highest suicide rate; Roman Catholics are next; Jews have the lowest rate.

Answer 4

Muslim religion seems to have the highest.
