Argument against Mill's view on hapiness.

When Mills present his view about how utilitarianism is indeed more religious than any other doctrine because God wants us to be happy, so sacrificing anything for that cause is okay. I disagree. For one, there is no blueprint detailing exactly what God means when he says “happiness.” I think before Mills makes up a rash assumption, he should at least figure out what does God mean when He talks about happiness. It can be from just living a normal average life, or it could mean, in Mills terms, sacrificing your own happiness for the greater good of other people’s happiness. We don’t know for sure, all we can to be assume. I also disagree and would say that God would not like utilitarianism. For instance, say a terrorist has the president hostage and he won’t let the president go until we blow up several of our own states with innocent people living within them. Mill, to my knowledge, would say that the president should die because he’s one person and states have thousands upon millions of people living in them.  What I don’t agree with is that by killing the president, even if it’s only one person, it’s still going against what God stands for. One of the ten commandants say “you shall not murder,” and God did not put a number on that because even killing one person is horrible in His eyes, even if it’s compared to millions of other lives. Every life, according to God, is valuable and it doesn’t discriminate; it does not matter if it’s one person being killed or millions, they are still people. So in that regards, I don’t think it would make sense to say that utilitarianism is a religious doctrine to God just because it causes happiness towards greater number of people, because its contradicting to what God actually meant.
