eh... I wouldn't make such a bold statements. And after checking craighopkins List, it's not accurate. For example. He listed China as 7th place. Where as Christianity in China is only 2.3-4% of it's population. But it's not a happy country. At least of what that questionable source says. Netherlands on the other hand with 23-44% of christians is ranked as 7th. The rest of the countries are as about 70%. But still, I don't think that this number has anything to do with why a country is being labeled as happy(?) I presume that the reason for being happy are that those are mainly 1st world countries with a secular state. And that's the keynote here.

China is not even in the top20 Happiest countries, and yeah, I mean % population, so nothing to do with China really
I believe that religion is connected on how people live and how they view things, as well as each other, so of course it is connected to happiness
also, Brazil is 17th and it's poor, and the very rich Qatar, Oman, Emirates, Saudi Arabia are close (and better in economy than Europe-US btw) but not as happy
don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^
