As belief in Hell declines

more people have the courage
to kill themselves.
Hell was invented to discourage suicide
as much as to condemn opponents.

It is not just that belief in Hell has declined (the more people have looked at what it used to mean, the less they find it means anything in the present day) it is equally that people have declined in greater numbers to link illness with Hell. The less they are likely to accept a medical condition on the basis of how they accepted or refused it having implications for their afterlife the more meaningless the illness makes life generally, the more 'disposable' life becomes.
