You stated that your father's lack of faith is the reason for his unhappiness, which has broader implications, namely that a lack of faith causes unhappiness in general. Or are you now saying that your father cannot cope without faith but others can?
Regardless, you have yet to answer the question that if faith is so important to happiness, how can atheists be happy, and how can those with faith be miserable.
