Sweden and Denmark have the highest happiness ratings according to surveys and they're highly secular. It may have something to do with the company they have to keep. Atheists in the US only.

The word atheist is not capitalized, also the word you're looking for is atheism not atheist.

As far as I know...the monkeys find more purpose to their life than an atheist. At least they can enjoy sticking their fingers up their butt and smile all day long.

I'm not depressed due to not having a religion; I would say depression has nothing to do with how religious a person is. I know another girl who is Penocostal (spelling sucks, I know) that cuts and is very depressed. First, I’m Atheist and I’ve been Atheist since I was around 12.

I can only say that facing life in a serious, mature way, may not lead you to a "happy" life as some may think of it, but it may be even more rewarding than having faith. I prefer planning my life rather than "hoping" for things to happen, and it makes me feel fulfilled. But that's only mi view, and it does not answer to your question.
