I wonder what would happen if the religious leaders all got together and canonized suicide, removing it from the list of damning sins. Further, if they noted you'd go straight to the Rapture if you offed yourself.

What % of the truly faithful would voluntarily remove themselves from the human population? I realize not all of them, but I can see entire industries cropping up to take advantage of the suicide rate increasing by an order of magnitude, almost overnight. I also see a lot of fundies offing entire families in Tent Revivals, so a new set of laws requiring all suicides for religious reasons to be at least 18 years of age, etc.

Sanctioned suicide in jails. Find Jesus, remove yourself from the population. Burden on taxpayers is eased.

Why do we have religion, again?
