what religion has the highest suicide rate?
448350
Good question!\n\nI don't know the number of suicide bombers to date.\n\nBut there was that Davidian cult in Waco where they all 57 killed themselves.  Guess it's more than that.\n\nBut given that those without religion (ie atheists) are more likely to commit suicide (whether lack of hope or just plain greater proportion of the population) - it's gonna be them to be honest.\n\nQuestion is which deaths serves more purpose?

Religion, as usual.  Religion has caused more wars than any other factor.

From one who has attempted suicide twice--your revelation is wacko.  We can't know something God doesn't want us to know.  God is omnipotent (all powerful).  You can't out think God.  And by the way most weird revelations, if they don't match up with the word of God are straight from Satan himself.  People commit suicide because they fell hopeless and helpless and Satan wants them to feel that way.  He wants you dead.

It says nowhere in the Bible that you go to hell for suicide, now you may get punished in heaven, but that is much better than the alternitive. I would rather get beat to death and go to heaven, than live a fabulous life and go to Hell.

Islam.\n\nFastest-growing religion\n\nkneeling\n\nThe second-largest religion in the world after Christianity, Islam is also the fastest-growing religion. In the United States, for example, nearly 80 percent of the more than 1,200 mosques have been built in the past 12 years.\n\nSome scholars see an emerging Muslim renaissance as Islam takes root in many traditionally Christian communities.\n\nIslam has drawn converts from all walks of life, most notably African-Americans. Former NAACP President Benjamin Chavis, who joined the Nation of Islam recently, personifies the trend.\n\n"In societies where you have minorities that are discriminated against, I think they may find an appeal in Islam," said Waleed Kazziha of American University in Cairo.\n\nMany moderate Islamic countries such as Turkey and Egypt are becoming more conservative.\n\nTwo decades ago, few middle-class Egyptian women wore scarves or veils on their heads. Now they crowd into special emporiums that advertise Islamic clothing.

i'm a muslim and I'd have to say that anybody who is suicidal and armed is a great danger to himself and others. So, the suicidal maniac is much much worse.\n\nBut I wouldn't limit it to the muslims. Police in the usa run into suicidal people, which police will tell you, are the most dangerous calls they take - they never know how many people they will try to take out with them.\n\ni personally "enjoy" visits from jehovahs witnesses. lol, they usually start to running after i compare their beliefs to islam lol. \n\nBut seriously, they can be pretty decent these days, if you just let them get their initial little "speech" out and then respond to their words. You can easily shock them that way. They almost don't know what to say after that lol.

No religion supports suicide bombings. In Islam it is forbidden to kill yourself, hence tobacco is not allowed as it is deemed to be a form of suicide. Suicide bombers are not and never will be Islamic. Islam is a tolerant religion that has been bastardised in the same way as Christianity was in the days of the Inquisition. It would pay for more moderate Muslims to speak up on this subject, but Peace and love do not sell news copy as well as fear and hate.

Depends on who you ask or where you look. Here are 2 different articles with different data.\n\n\n\nThere are more new Christians added to the world population than any other religion on earth every day. This data makes the entire discussion about "rates of growth" irrelevant. The fact is today, that Christianity is the fastest growing religion on this most critical basis. This may change, but today, in 2004 AD, Christians take the prize for being the fastest growing religion. \nOn none of the 6 continents are Muslims the fastest growing religion. \nThat Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world is pure myth at best and at worst a deliberate deception of solid statistical facts.\n\n\n[edit] Buddhism\nAverage annual growth of 16% / 31,600 for the period 1996 to 2001 (200,000→358,000 - Australian data) [1] \n\n[edit] Falun Gong\nno reliable data available - established in 1992, estimates for 1999 range from 2 million [2] to 100 million [3] \n\n[edit] Christianity\nThe U.S. Center for World Mission claimed a growth rate of 2.3% for the period 1970 to 1996, (slightly higher than the world population growth rate at the time). This increased the percentage Christians from 33.7% to 33.9%. \nChristianity is estimated to receive 2,500,000 converts a year.[1] \n\n[edit] Islam\nAverage annual growth of 5% / 10,228,750 claimed for the period of 1935 to 1983 (209,020,000→700,000,000) [4] but note that this value is unreliable as these rates are calculated from two separate sources, which may have used different counting rules. \nUnited Nations' survey showed that between 1989 and 1998, Europe's Muslim population grew by more than 100 percent. Today, about 13 million Muslims live in Western Europe: 3.9 million in Germany, 3.3 million in Britain, 7.5 million in France, and the rest in other countries. [5]. Global warming may accelerate Muslim migration to Europe. [6] \nOntario Consultants on Religious Tolerance have a claim of 2.9% per year \nIt is estimated to receive 865,000 converts a year.[2] \nIn 2006 countries with a Muslim majority have an average population growth rate of 1.8% per year (when weighted by percentage Muslim and population size)[7]. This compares with a world population growth rate of 1.12% per year. [8] \n\n[edit] Non-Religious\nAverage annual growth of 10% / 1,372,727 for the period 1990 to 2001 (14,300,000→29,400,000 - U.S. data) [9],[10] \n\n[edit] Wicca\nAverage annual growth of 143% / 11,454 for the period 1990 to 2001 (8,000→134,000 - U.S. data / similar for Canada & Australia) [9],[10]

I certainly feel that way. Religion provides people \nwith a sense of comfort in dealing with all the difficulties in life. As Karl Marx first said "Religion is the opium of the masses". Opium is a highly addicitve heroin-like substance that is a pain-killer and mood enhancer.

If you don't want beliefs, then take a look at the US Census.  They exceed the population averages in teenage pregnancy, adultery, teen suicide, depression in teens and depression in middle age women.\nPeople ask me about the fruit of the Mormon church.  That would be it.
