I hate the church with every fiber of my being. If I did believe in some god, I'd seriously consider the church to be an emissary of the devil, for all the shit they've done and keep doing. I don't really need to continue this rant, as anyone with a small knowledge of history the crimes this institution still commit.
That said, even if you weren't religious you might have suffered something similar. My dad, while an atheist like me, comes from a very traditional family, and I underwent the same extended denial phase (I came out to myself just in May) - though I had never actually considered suicide. But yeah, a conservative environment in general is horrible for gays, be it religious or not.
