Some of you say religion makes people happy. So does laughin

Summary

This quote is a sarcastic remark that highlights a skeptical view of religion by drawing a parallel with the use of laughing gas as a source of happiness. It suggests that the happiness found in religion can be equated to a transient and superficial form of joy, similar to the temporary euphoria induced by laughing gas. The quote undermines the premise that religion provides genuine and lasting happiness by implying that it may be illusory or artificially induced rather than derived from profound and meaningful experiences.
