I have to differ with you here. Do you have any evidence to suggest that atheists/agnostics are "more advanced" and are more "able to find happiness within themselves" than theists? Could you suitably define these phrases?

Dvaitins/Visishtadvaitins consider Advaitins atheists. All of the former consider Samkhya atheist. All of the former consider Buddhism to be atheist. All of the former consider Charvakas to be atheists. So, if you could, also define the term "atheism" and which "atheist" you are referring to.
