A New York man is linking the suicide of his 22-year-old son, a military veteran who had bright prospects in college, to the anti-Christian book "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins after a college professor challenged the son to read it.

I would never blame this book for anyone's suicide.
Dawkins if full of himself and thus full of crap. A self hating soul who has sought to demean the value of human life with his books under the guise of intellectual superiority.
This young man was probably on unstable ground already. And being a conservative Christian at almost any college is living in a constant hostile environment.
When atheist Darwinist cool-aid drinkers try to argue that mutation or adaptation prove evolution one can easily refute them with there own argument.
Darwinist thinking says that mutation and adaptation that become encoded in the DNA is proof of evolution. Evolution implies that the resultant mutation is "superior." This is the model used by Hitler to justofy the whole sale slaughter of those who were "inferior." It is used by white supremacists to just killing blacks. Even Darwinism holds that all human life sprang from the cradle of life in Africa. Initially all humans had dark skin to help protect against the Sun's harmful UV. As man migrated away from the equatorial region, human adapted and skin lightened to allow more of the beneficial effects of the Sun to be retained. This adaptation became part of the genetic code. Thus Darwinist theory holds that the white man is superior on the evolutionary scale to the black man because, again, adaptation that becomes part of the DNA is "proof" of evolution.
One can argue against the fundamental "proof" of Darwin without ever bringing up the bible. Darwinism is not proven science. Darwinists simply ignore any data that disproves their pet theory.
Yet scientists that worked on the human genome project found they became to believes that there is a power far greater than any man on earth. There was just too much order for there not to be a "designer."
Dawkins is a typical Darwinist. But his writing did not cause the young man to take his own life. The veteran chose a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
For Christians, we call what happened to this young man, "Giving the devil a foothold". It is unfortunate that college professors often throw this kind of stuff at unsuspecting and naive college students. For those with no grounding in Christianity, they are likely to fall for the lies that people like Richard Dawkins teach.
I've read some of the stuff that Dawkins has said, but my faith and my education are strong enough to filter out the lies.
What's unfortunate is that I think you will see more of this. Atheism is gaining a foothold in America and many unsuspecting people are falling for it.
My deepest condolences to this family. It saddens me that this young man fell for this. It's a lesson to all of us to do your due diligence and educate yourself.
Jesus said "You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free." The truth is out there.
Sincerely,
