statistically, religious people are in average happier than non religious people.
I personally think that daily routines and basic rules comply with or even are a necessity for the human nature as a social being.
Imagin a world without gravity or without fix points for orientation. people need to live and die for something
Nihilist do not.
I can also accept, that life just is. And I can find all orientation within happines and helping others and myself acchieving it.
orientation is the key word in your post
I've lived both ways. Have you? Most of the religious people I meet are overwhelmed with constant anger that others don't live the way they want them to.
