Atheism percentage levels and life quality

It is an oversimplification to say that science is their fallback. Maybe you're explaining God to them incorrectly.

Sure.

I don't think most realize it. Science though IS their fallback....especially when you try to explain God to them.

Yes, a number of them do, but not always for the same reasons or in the same way. But yeah, science and/or logic often tend to be their "go to" references of cognitive defense.

If you do Christianity right, I would argue that it results in a deeper happiness.
Take Saint Therese of Lisieux. She silently endured tuberculosis and died at the age of 24, as a nun. But she embraced suffering as sharing in the sufferings of Christ, and said suffering was as to joy for her.

Yes, Saudi Arabia/Sunni is definitely the greater problem, even more so because they are protected from scrutiny by the UK, Europe and the US. The UK (where I was born) is literally indebted to Saudi Arabia and Qatar. I visited England in 2016. England's "dark satanic mills" have become minarets.
The UK will be majority Muslim eventually, simply because of immigration and the higher Muslim birthrate. There is a substantial number of well trained Muslim service personnel. Add nuclear weapons and stir well.......

The prevalence of abortion (not forgetting contraception) in the UK strongly favours the growth of Islam.

Multiple wives and huge families likewise. People worry about the rise of China as a superpower. Islam is the greater threat to world peace.
