Religion made me miserable and my life a living hell. I am much happier since I decided there is no god as now I accept life as it is more easily. I take responsibility for my life now as there is no god or devil to blame anymore. My mother is still very religious and she is not a very happy person....know a lot of people like her so don't think religious people are happier.

I agree, a huge relief when I accepted that god didnt exist.

Can't answer your question in regardless to yourself.
I never knew that I would have to have religion in my life to be happy.

yeah,but I also have to add my personal experience,my parents are religious and they r happy most of the times...though may not be true with all..but the belief of some one there to save us gives a great pleasure..this makes you live a care free life..but I also wanna add to this,most atheists are very intelligent people..they have a proper answer for the non existence of God..------ This thread is Archived ------

No he will ban you from his heaven if you dont subscribe to his book and read the same boring book each day haha.
And if he does not like what you do ,then he sends in a flood killing all unguilty animals in his mass murder while correcting you .
Next to that he only puts white dudes in his bible book while he also created Asians and Negroid people.
To add on
Then he first created homo erectus at 1 mil BC ,homo heidelbergenis ,Neanderthal-er before his final creation Homo sapiens at 170 000 BC . And after 1 million years he still doesn't know how to create a perfect humanoid cos all of us still get born with a tail bone while we dont have a tail. And Negroid people still sink while white folks float on water.
All that God non sense is a human made up fairytale to serve as manipulation.
Make all think in the same way and its easy to control the mass.
Hope you wake up one day for your own ease of sole.
Cos if your willing to believe that your lord is able to do those crimes against life, then you failed Gods test.
God is love, not a person who needs to put fear into you to get you as follower.
The demon has no powers ,so HE has to convince you by putting fear into you.
Bless you.

Sunny143: Is it true that religious people are happier than others,I am asking you because I am about to consider myself as a non-religious person soon.Fed up of religions!!I would consider myself as a agnostic and non religious person,who believes in the existence of a super power.Can a person like me also be happier if so in what way..its not that I am sad but I am internally unhappy with my life.Is there anything wrong in my understanding about the same..please write your views ..
Religion can mean lots of different things to lots of different people , it's a source of comfort to some , a tool to be used for some more and for others it's a daily ritual come what may . I'd consider myself to spiritual but not overly religious . I am however an occasional attendant on Sunday in my local church . The few times I get annoyed by Religion is when either side of the religious divide get in my face forcing their point of view on me be it the deeply religious or the 'non-believers' . The other issue I have is when peeps from other cultures consider their religion and beliefs to be of greater importance to others when say for example they have chosen to live in another country with a different culture to theirs .
I am largely happy with my lot though , feeling not any less a person for being me

I'm not religious at all and very happy thank you! In fact some of the most damaged people I've encountered have been religious. I do think it can be a comfort in times of ill health or impending death for some, and I understand this, but in my opinion it is a useless crutch to cling onto.

I think that sometimes human beings are 'happier' if they have a 'script' to follow ..
It makes things simpler, there are 'answers' to the questions in life but then the likes of you, me and many others question those answers and find our own happiness - it can be done
