Where do you get the premise of religion being a happier life?

For most faithful, the answer would be 'experience'. People happy in their faith tend to stay. Those who aren't tend to leave eventually.

Your answer of "survivorship bias" hints that you are assuming the parent's "are you happy" is a yes.

Assuming for argument's sake, that is.

The post title implies religiosity != happiness, the parent implied other results might differ, my comment was a response to that possibility, for the sake of argument as you said.
