Top 15 World's happiest countries are all Christian country

[zeroo]

While the United States may still be the richest nation on Earth, it can't claim to be as happy as Denmark or Finland. In fact, according to a new analysis of data provided by the Gallup World Poll, the relationship between overall life satisfaction and wealth may not be as straightforward as previously thought.

Looking at data collected across 132 countries, the Gallup Organization based their marks -- released this month in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology -- on representative samples of more than 136,000 people in each country. Respondents were asked how they would rate their lives on a scale from zero (worst possible) to 10 (best possible), as well as answering a series of questions on positive or negative emotions.

I wonder can we still consider those Nordic countries are "Christian Country"?

The rate that they are losing faith, can be observed by the regularity of the times that they are attending churches, perhaps once a year maybe, besides Wedding, occasion etc...

[chinkandoo]

What about Bhutan? Thought they have always been the happiest? What sort of survey is this...must have been done by Christians themselves.

1. Denmark: 7.7

2. Finland: 7.7

3. Norway: 7.6

4. The Netherlands: 7.6

These are "Christian" countries? These countries are the beacons of liberalism and most people are not even remotely religious.

TeeKee, how many clones do you have exactly?

Wealth does not equal happiness.

Yup, that is why there is such an index as Gross National Happiness (GNH), which purportedly quantifies happiness. GNH, GDP or GALLUP are all straight line scales.

The way we think about happiness becomes awry once we place happiness on a straight line scale. That is misplaced, even morbid intelligence. Happiness is a quality, therefore unquantifiable.
