Religious people tend to meditate during prayer, socialize, and have a purpose in life. However, you don't need religion to be happy and there's no evidence that religious people are happier than humanist atheists.

Re: Why religious people are happier
Happiness is a fuzzy term in any case. I don’t think there are many absolutes when it comes to happiness. Maybe you are happier eating green jello and painting your forehead with extra virgin olive oil as a Pastafarian. More power to you.

It took me a long time to come to terms that I was lied to about a giant spaghetti monster floating through space.
I didn’t know that science teaches that pasta freezes instantly in the cold vacuum of the cosmos. There’s just no way He could noodle about like the pictures show.
