This kind of view pisses me off. Why do you presume that those who don't share you very narrow and specific version of belief are also incapable of love, 'hope' and happiness?
I've never been religious once in my entire life, and I'm willing to bet that my daily experience of life is no different to any believer who happens to live near me or work with me, in both happiness and sadness and hopes and fears.
