Show the proof that non-religious people see no value in life. Show me example of non-religious people that have committed suicide because of their lack of belieft in religion and not because of their individual circumstances.
My life has a lot of meaning and I don't need Someone to come and tell me it has. I give my life it's own meaning. You are completely wrong by saying a person who has no religion doesn't see meaning in life.
Show me that research and who came with it. If it even exist I bet it was some cualitative research that failed to take things in consideration like interviewing people in the same circumstances, with the same problems and with signals of depressions. I wouldn't be suriprised if they just asked a bunch of happy people that happened to be religious and that of course said: "Of course not, I wouldn't kill myself! Puff!".
