Believers are happier than atheists?

[Telegraph]

People who believe in God are happier than agnostics or atheists, researchers claimed yesterday. A report found that religious people were better able to cope with disappointments such as unemployment or divorce than non-believers. Moreover, they become even happier the more they pray and go to church, claims the study by Prof Andrew Clark and Dr Orsolya Lelkes.

[From me]

Well I have nothing to go on but my own experience.  I wouldn’t say I’m happy all of the time.  But I have joy every day.  I’m not happy when something bad happens but I’ve learned to praise God in everything.  So, I know I have more Joy than many other people I’m around.

I’m curious to know what my atheist, agnostic and believing friends think!

What do you think?
