Answer 2

There is. I don't know where it is. In general, it does say religious people are happier. Probably has to do with companionship and a common goal. It just won't make "me" happier.

Here's some articles for you.

Answer 3

I am a Christian and am very happy.  I am not rich.  I have no family, other than my friends and fellow Christians.

Answer 4

Religion has nothing to do with Happiness , my dog is happy , is it religious ?

Answer 5

There are.  

The problem here is that they don't get consistent data.  I can show you data on the number of atheists in the US that goes from 2.6% to 17%.  It depends on how you ask the questions, how you define the terms, and so on.  I don't think that you will find any real solid data that there aren't studies that say the opposite of whatever the one you pick says.  The statistics are just to easy to bias.
