You asked how to be happy and wholesome. Cool. You asked the question of non-Christian folk. OK. Lets remember what you didn't ask ... How to attain enlightenment, or get to heaven, or please any Deity. Fair enough. So we'll just stick to those first two things ... How to be happy ... Learn to be content with things as they are. That means to practice simple acceptance of other people, places, things, circumstances, etc. When you can accept things as they are you can live without trying to change those things or control those people or etc. You get the idea. While you're accepting others as they are in order to be happy don't forget to extend that same acceptance to your self. Its just a matter of letting everything be what it is, and knowing that its that way for a reason, and ... that's OK. So far ... HAPPINESS = ACCEPTANCE. Now, wholesome. A dictionary definition of "wholesome" is: #1; Promoting good health or wellbeing, healthful. #2; Improving the mind or morals. #3; Looking healty or vigorous. ... Whoa! You're not asking for much, are you? lol Its not that complicated, really. Give life a little thought. Keep your self and your space clean. Get some exercise. Try to eat a ballanced diet. Take a multiple vitamin daily. The health aspect isn't all that hard. That part about improving the mind and morals? A little more work. Improve the mind? Exercise it a little. Read. Watch a little History Channel. I think you know how to exercise your mind already. Just do it consistently. Your morals? That's simple. Simple ought never be confused with easy. Pick a moral code, and ... LIVE IT! Which one? Hey, not my call. Suggestions? Sure. Center your life on (and you don't have to be any of these things to use something they have that YOU find useful) ... The Wiccan Reede. The Jewish 10 Commandments. The "Golden Rule" of Jesus. Whatever. Picking is the easy part. That's simple. Now, living it, that's another story. Be consistant, but be loving with yourself when you make a mistake too. Just DON'T GIVE IT UP! BE CONSISTANT! And last, but not least, get out of self. You do that by helping others and being there for them. It also gives you the exercise you need in acceptance AND your morals. Neither of those work well in a void. ~ Peace & Blessings ~ ;-)

I wish I could answer that with a Full Yes or a Full No but the thing is... I dont know! I chose to Believe in Good, and  I Chose to believe with my Heart. I know those are 2 things that have never let me down before. I wont believe everything I hear, or see because my heart, soul and spirit controls me... If its something that God himself wouldnt do or believe then nor would I.... That may sound stupid but its the best I can answer... Im sorry:(

I would rather believe that I am blessed to be where I am today than to be skeptical of life.  Why not live as though everything is a miracle?

I don't think you have to believe in God to believe in some kind of afterlife, there are many relgions in the world each one with it's own beliefs and viewpoints.  I personally believe in a soul, but that does not automatically mean I believe in Heaven.  I do believe something wonderful will happen when I die, I am just not sure what that is yet, and I hope it is along time before I find out.  Maybe he was there, because evryone was thinking about him.  It's hard to say.

If you're going to believe in God it has to come about from your own experiences. It has to be based in your own faith and trust. Im at the point where I think there is a spirit world but not necassarily a higher power, but sometimes I go back to thinking there is a higher power but not necessarily the conventional god. I think hes probably a sarcastic bastard if hes up there.

I live by this statement....I would rather believe in God and heaven and find out I am right when I get there.... then to not believe and find out I am wrong when I arrive!

Good thing for me that I believe.  Or do I?

I believe in God, so I believe that when we were created the origin of consciousness was planted in us. That's my opinion.

I believe in God, but religion is to binding. There are good values in every religion. Everyone beleves differently, but when any religion is broken down, God is the basis. So to me religion is not important, and does not limit me to my worship in the lord.

I believe what the bible says.

I believe in God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.  I do not know whether he has arms or legs or not, but I plan on seeing Him one day and then I'll know.

You don't need to believe in a god to believe in an afterlife, nor do you need to believe in a god to believe you have a soul.  The beauty of atheism/agnosticism is that everyone thinks for themselves and has their own ideas about things.  It doesn't matter if it's the "Truth" or not.
