I do get the point of view of basically just giving up on NOT being religious...
By religious I might really just mean holding some false believes here which isn't really religious... Ok, and I stray far from that viewpoint now...
But I still have my doubts regarding the categorization as an illness. Whether the thoughts are really automatic. A psychotherapists theory I read online, is that depression is basically deeply held false pessimistic believes... but there remains the question what's factual in every single case and whether it's really pessimistic or whether the person has optimistic believes as well etc.
