Premise One: Non-Christians are unlikely to be happy due to their decision to live in open-defiance of God's Law.
Premise Two: Christians are unlikely to be happy due to:
(1) the cognitive dissonance that comes with living in sin against a personal belief that sin is to be rooted out, and
(2) outside oppression from non-Christians who continue to denegrate:
(a) those that attempt to live within the absolute confines of God's Law, and
(b) the need for or presence of absolute authority
Ergo ...
It is unreasonable to expect a general state of happiness amongst the masses.

It's an interesting argument, although I think everyone's definition of "happy" will vary - just like everyone's definition of beauty is different.
Let the philosophical debate begin!
