Except some of us consider ourselves to be quite evolved, not religious, AND absent of depression. Maybe depression (or the lack thereof) has nothing to do with religion at all.

If you're trying to establish if X is a cure for Y, then looking at people who don't have Y will not tell you much.
Anti-religion aka the religion of Scienc(TM) is still a religion.
Just because you call something a religion doesn't mean it is. There is no such thing as "religion of science"
For some people, it is. There is a segment of non-religious people who do treat the current scientific consensus as gospel and moralize adherence with typical religious in-group/out-group dynamics, despite not really understanding or engaging with any of the actual material. I disagree that relying on scientific consensus is inherently religious, though.
