Study after study are showing that secular people are generally happier, have higher intelligence, have a higher moral standard, promote greater equality, etc, than their non-secular counterparts.

I'm not sure you can apply that to individuals or sub-sets of non-secular folks (there are plenty of intelligent and moral non-secular people), but as a demographic, non-secular people are the one's we should be looking up to as role models.
