A Tragic Ending After a Religious Upbringing

I don't doubt that there are tragic ends. I do doubt that they are easily explained. Did this poor woman die because of a strict Hasidic Jewish upbringing? Did she die because of the loss of community that resulted with the rejection of her faith? Did she die because she had poor coping skills and couldn't find new community?

Did nature err in the creation of a mind that must reconcile the need to survive, nature's highest imperative, with the now clear, impossibility of survival? Is religion a step in our cultural evolution or are religion's roots older than man? Could it be an inheritance along with fire and part of our being even before our being?

For those, how many, that suffer in religion there are also many that find comfort and even joy. If you could take religion from all would you? Would humanity be better off? Religion is so universal, does this hint at some necessity?
