So, let me see if I understand. Neo and Lozza, you guys are saying that in your secular society there isn't a lot of societal pressure to be happy-happy-joy-joy all the time? You aren't pressured by society to appear to be happy even if you aren't?
In England, if someone walks down the street smiling to themselves and a friend sees them, the friend might well appear suspicious and ask, "what are you looking so happy about?"
