But I feel like I've always believed in God, on some level, so I attribute my happiness to my belief in God. Honestly, I can't fathom how a person could be happy without believing in God, but if someone tells me they're happy, and they don't believe in God, I suppose I have no choice but to take their word for it.
Sure you can, and you probably know people who simply are happy without believing in your god. What you must mean to say here is that you can't imagine that you would be happy if you didn't believe in your god.
It's related to the notion that there could be no x value, or value x, outside of a belief in whatever sort of god a person fancies.
