The real reason religions ban suicide [View all]

Religions are mostly about control, blame and punishment. They devote most of the time and energy to blaming and punishing in order to maintain their dominant position in society. Suicide gives people a way to choose to avoid their punsihment. Of course the result is no existence at all for the one who suicides, but the people who are watching get the satisfaction of seeing others avoid the wrath of the religions. So in that sense it is liberating and therefore must be banned by the faiths.
