I'm pretty happy. Certainly happier than when I was trying to believe.

Certain kinds of religion can make people very unhappy. It's a guilt thing. But I do see that for some the belief that "something" is looking out for them, might make them feel better. It just seems like a fragile belief. It seems to fail most often when needed the most.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
