There's not a strict religious group in the world that seems to be happy.

You'd have to talk to them directly to hear about the people who are completely satisfied with their lives in strict religious groups. Naturally, such a group isn't for everyone, and drama and conflict make more interesting stories, so that's what you see in news and fiction.

I know a good number of Hasidim (no Satmars though) and they seem about as happy on average as everyone else, maybe a little happier.

There's not a secular group that seems to be happy either.
