>we are still very religious and are brought up from a young age to be happy with what you have, not upset about what you don't have

In my personal experience, this teaching is just as prominent in non-religious upbringings, perhaps even more so.

That is great, but don't forget that organized dogmatic religions is where many of those lessons started. I'm happy that some of the core positive tenants of religions (that have historically fueled some of humanities worst atrocities) have migrated to being simply accepted as part of humanity and not always tied back to religion.
