Because telling people that the reason they want to kill themselves is that they don't believe in God -- or are "seperated" from God, whatever -- is a perfectly acceptable form of trying to convert people...
What's funny is that I hear this bullshit all the time from my parents. "I'm feeling down today." "And when was the last time you went to church?"
Organized religion is fucked up. Srsly.
That sucks. 
My parents aren't that pushy, but coming out of the "agnostic" closet was a bit of a process, heh.
Yeah, I agree. I don't know, maybe there are exceptions, but it certainly seems like the monster religions (Christianity, Islam, etc) can be dangerous/annoying.
You'll feel differently if you study the philosophy of religion. A lot of smart people are, or were, religious; you're just focusing on a minority. This same minority of dumb and despicable people exists among atheists, but they often just don't have as much political power -- they are effectively invisible. You may argue that it is the effect of the minority that matters, and that religion enables the misplacement of political power; to which I will respond: if you denounce religion for effecting religious wars, you may as well denounce science for producing the atomic bomb. It's rather hypocritical.
Aside from this, the antagonization of religion is a vain way for many to exalt themselves. People like to be in minorities: such antipathy can be very self-serving. I'm not saying this about you, but rather as something that applies well in general.
The only way to attack Christianity is to start at the base, Christian morality, and the context in which it was introduced. You can't take advantage of a primary source by decrying disconnected secondary sources. A tree's strength is not measured by bad branches. The same can be said for Islam, Judaism, and all other religions.
