Actually, I'm going through that state and have been for quite awhile now. Oh sure I could act like a loving and caring God exist, but in my heart, that isn't true. Trying to act like I'm in a situational that I'm not or that "some guy in the clouds will make everything better" also didn't help me. Usually when I have hope for something to get better, it usually only gets worse. So I pretty much don't waste time with false hope. I'm not gonna reach happiness through blind faith.

there are diverse questions there that would opt for a library to respond to. Why do I no longer have confidence in gods? Why could I? I see no data or choose for gods, To be an atheist is to take the default view. How could the international be here? Crikey, i've got positioned a link interior the source for the Wiki in the international. commence there. Do i've got confidence in creation. by potential of no potential, it fairly is a ludicrous concept, no longer a real medical concept. Do i've got confidence in evolution. No. i do no longer 'have confidence' in evolution, yet I do settle for that it fairly is as on the verge of fall down of a 'fact' in technological know-how as any concept can likely be, supported by potential of colossal evidences from a form of diverse sciences. a very 'shown' concept like the theories of gravity or on the different hand the thought germs exist. i'm fairly valuable as quickly as I actually have a chilly, that that's led to by potential of germs, and the two valuable that evolution is a fact of existence.

Me personally, no, and as an atheist I have been depressed, and then went to a doctor and got psychological help for my problems. I am fine now, and I've always had hope. Being an atheist doesn't mean I don't have hope.

Heck no.

I have one life, and it's all I have, and I'm going to make the most of it while I'm here instead of wasting it hoping that there'll be something better waiting after it's over. The word for that kind of hope is DELUSION.

Becoming a "christian" would probably just induce me to kill myself. Why wait? There's a better life coming, right?

Never. I am an Atheist and if I was ever that depressed I like to think that I would still choose the truth over self-delusion, no matter how bad the truth is.

As it stands though, I rather like the truth as I see it. If this is as good as it gets then that's just dandy with me.

Adam B is spouting typical Religious Propaganda. People that commit suicide do so because they think there is something better waiting for them on the other side. Duh! Atheists are less likely to kill themselves because we know that this is the only shot you get.

Christianity is not a cure for anything. I would no more offer Christianity as a solution for depression than I would suggest taking Castor oil for diarrhea.

A religion making people happy does NOT make its message true. And I'm sorry, but if I'm going to choose a religion that will make me happy then I'm going with Buddhism because it doesn't preach fear and intolerance.

However, as an atheist I don't see myself getting really depressed at anything. I choose to solve my own problems, and if I fail... oh well. I tried my best and that's all I could. No sense crying to an imaginary being to solve all my problems for me.

I certainly would not affiliate myself with an organised religion, but I do think developing some philosophical or spiritual ideas about life is helpful in combatting depression and various other mental disorders, like OCD. Each to their own I suppose.

if you're an athiest it means you don't believe in God. so how would entering into something that goes totally against all of your beliefs help with depression? to me it seems that would only make you more depressed. but that's just my opinion.
