“I think it's probably... I guess made it stronger..."
“I think it's probably... I guess made it stronger and sometimes it's hard to think that there is a greater purpose for all this but at the same time I think having faith has kept me grounded and it's also given me a source of community and kind of like a sense of peace during this time.” -

“It is making my connection stronger to God..."
“It is making my connection stronger to God because this is a time like I need him the most and I know that he can give me hope.” “No, but we're doing Zoom meetings every Wednesdays for youth group and we do Bible study and a little game.” “Yes, they're doing a drive-thru where people can go through and pick up food if they need it.” -

“I think covid-19 has affected my beliefs and faith greatly."
“I think covid-19 has affected my beliefs and faith greatly. Me, personally, I'm a Christian so it's taught me to rely on my faith much more even though a lot of right now is in the unknown.” “So just like reading my Bible and going to church online has really helped me to have strong faith and have a positive outlook on life.” “My religious gathering is not physically meeting but they do have church online for anyone to join so its like streamed through YouTube and my own church’s app…” -

“Actually, I believe in an odd way it has made my faith stronger..."
“Actually, I believe in an odd way it has made my faith stronger and my beliefs more solid. Instead of falling into the frenzy and the panic that is out there because of that unknown, my ability to lean into God and rely on my faith has really made me calm I guess you could say.” -

“I would say that it hasn't affected my faith or beliefs in any kind of..."
“I would say that it hasn't affected my faith or beliefs in any kind of drastic way. I've always grown up going to church and I still feel the same about my church and about my religious beliefs and God and I don't think that this pandemic was something sent by God to smite us or that we are being ignored by any kind of higher being or something for this happening. I think that just stuff happens and you know faith and science are two separate things.” -

“I would say it's definitely a lot harder..."
“I would say it's definitely a lot harder to get in community because I feel like that's a big deal with any kind of faith and so with church it's all online now so I'm just watching it like from my home church with my family like in our house so that's kind of a bummer not being able to be in community every week and it's hard because it puts like I don't know more pressure…” -

“It has made it a lot harder for me to continue practicing just everything..."
“It has made it a lot harder for me to continue practicing just everything just because I'm not really in Mass right now. So, they'll offer Mass online. It's just not the same because for me I have to have the Eucharist like the body and the blood and that's just how I get to that meditation zone where it's like I'm really here and it's just like me and god talking. I can't really feel that or get close just doing it from home watching a video. So, I do feel like I haven't been doing the best that I should be doing during these times.” -

“I don't think that it really has influenced too much..."
“I don't think that it really has influenced too much because I really feel that to get out of this we are in the hands of the scientists and the minds of science and it seems like especially lately in the United States there is a lot of issues between belief and science feeling like science is just one belief system and religion is another belief system. I don't happen to be really buying into this. This is science and we need vaccinations. We need to have any kind of antivirals or anything that can help us get through this virus.” -

“I think it's definitely been causing me to lean on my faith more..."
“I think it's definitely been causing me to lean on my faith more and even kinda believe in this higher power and lean on this higher power in a stronger way but at the same time like right now all the churches are closed and being challenged to figure out how how to come together as a community virtually and things like that so it definitely has made me realize I can take many aspects of my faith for granted like the community aspect but at the same time it has kinda shown me that like the church building is not my faith.” -

“Well, covid-19 hasn't really affected my faith at all."
“Well, covid-19 hasn't really affected my faith at all. I feel like its affected the social aspect of it but I've been able to adapt with everything that's going on.” “No. So, the church that my family goes to they’re having live streams on Sundays. So, they have like two different live streams one in English and one in Spanish and it hasn't really affected my participation since it's like really easy to get to like it's available on YouTube and they have like a live chat feature that not that many people use because I mean you're not really supposed to be talking while the service is going on.” -

“So, I feel that as a Christian myself and the community..."
“So, I feel that as a Christian myself and the community just all together have really just leaned more towards the Lord and our faith during these uncertain times because we know that there is a greater purpose and there's just no plan greater than his and it honestly just makes me thankful to have this relationship with Christ because it brings my family and myself more comfort.” -

"Um... to be honest with you uh coronavirus did affect my faith and beliefs..."
"Um... to be honest with you uh coronavirus did affect my faith and beliefs to the god um with all the disaster things happening around the global many thought that this week prayed really is going to help us anymore so that it made me doubt that kinda thing so however I still believe still believe my religion I trust my trust my god." -

“Covid-19 really hasn't shaped my faith or my beliefs."
“Covid-19 really hasn't shaped my faith or my beliefs. You know I continue to believe in God and I have faith in God that continues. I personally don't believe God has anything to do with covid-19. God didn't create it. God didn’t spread it. God isn’t going to determine who gets it, who dies or who recovers. I believe that faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. For instance, I hope that there is an afterlife beyond this world and that my soul will live on.” -

"Well it stops me from being able to go to church and pray to my god."
"Well it stops me from being able to go to church and pray to my god." "No, it strengthened my beliefs." "We we gather uh the priest does like a Zoom meeting for us so that we can still get together spiritually and pray to our God." "Well since we're not doing community service and feeding the homeless in our community..." -

“Being a Muslim, I believe faith is an important part of my life."
“Being a Muslim, I believe faith is an important part of my life. It gives me a lot of comfort and relief. I think it is important to have faith and that this pandemic will be resolved as soon as possible.” “No, all of the mosques and religious centers are closed at the moment. Basically, I have been praying at home instead and I have not been able to attend my local mosque in weeks.” “Yes, they are. My local mosque has been asking for donations to help the homeless and poor. These people that are given food and supplies so it is necessary to get them some sort of assistance especially during these hard times.” -

“It really hasn't. I believe in God. I'm a Roman Catholic."
“It really hasn't. I believe in God. I'm a Roman Catholic. A lot of people are likening covid-19 to the book of Revelations which really it doesn't apply. What this has taught me as a person... I still believe in God as a result of this. My belief is even stronger. I don't think this is something that God has sent his wrath to kill the majority of people in the United States or that it's causing… It’s causing people a lot of anguish. I will say that because people have… as a society we have become so reliant on freedom. It really kind of has taken us a step back and if you want to look introspectively at yourself in your beliefs this is teaching everyone or it should be teaching everyone what’s important in your life.” -

“I don't think it's really affected it much.”
“I don't think it's really affected it much.” “Our religious community isn't gathering. They stopped it immediately and I think they're trying to reach out to people through online communications. That's about it.” Mostly person-to-person. They've done one huge like worldwide broadcast in the last couple months.” -

“I feel like for me it really hasn't affected it too much."
“I feel like for me it really hasn't affected it too much. I think it really just affected the way things go about because my religion is Christianity so before covid-19 we would meet on a weekly basis at a church and from there everybody gathers together so it's a really close room with a lot of people in it and since covid-19 and social distancing is in place we really can't meet so a lot of the operations in the church have gone more to a social platform they start uploading services every week on YouTube…” -

“People have described it as these times are unprecedented."
“People have described it as these times are unprecedented. Nobody has had to endure or deal with or live through something like this of this magnitude in the past. I know that there's always been previous flus or outbreaks or epidemics here and there you know the black plague obviously was a big one the Spanish Flu the flu of 1918 was pretty bad and you know a lot of those were pretty treacherous for how many lives that they took and how much it affected communities that way so thankfully we haven't had to deal with that a whole lot with this one as of right now.” -
2020-04-01
“Well I feel like its strengthened my faith and my beliefs..."
“Well I feel like its strengthened my faith and my beliefs because we've learned through our readings of the Bible and our studying that the Bible speaks about the end times being similar to what we're facing now and also through this we’ve seen our local assembly... people draw closer to God through this. We've seen people get the Holy Ghost over the phone through this pandemic. We’ve seen a lot of people just really get closer to God during this so I feel like personally for me it's strengthened my faith and my belief in God and it's just shown me that when the Bible speaks of end times it's exactly what we're dealing with going on now.” -

“I would say I am by book Christian..."
“I would say I am by book Christian but for me I think I would consider myself having a stronger relationship with God rather than being committed to the religion of Christianity but yeah this pandemic has definitely risen the talk of God coming or the end. This stuff kind of tends to usually freak people out but I've done or at least attempted to become more prepared for his coming spiritually.” -

"To make me grateful to have a spiritual basis to live my life from ..."
“To make me grateful to have a spiritual basis to live my life from which is what I call... I guess that would be related to my religious beliefs... I had a spiritual life prior to having a quote religious belief. My religious belief came about 20 years ago in the form of another vital spiritual awakening which led to the Baptist Church. That faith led me through 911 which strengthened my face and gave me confidence that God could take care of things in the world that seem to be catastrophic to me.” -

“I dunno. It's certainly helped me turn to reassuring scriptures..."
“I dunno. It's certainly helped me turn to reassuring scriptures to go back into how you connect with God and how God is with us all the time. So you're relying more on that providence of God that presence of God knowing that things are out of our control yet God is still there God is still in charge so I dunno know that's kind of what it's done for me.” -

“It really hasn't affected my faith or beliefs in any way particular."
“It really hasn't affected my faith or beliefs in any way particular. I still am able to read my Bible and pray and do all the same things I would do at church just from my home. My beliefs haven't changed everything that I feel and believe has stayed the same especially with like Easter that just happened. We were still able to celebrate that holiday as a family although we weren't like all together and at church but the point of the holiday is our beliefs so essentially we were still able to celebrate that from home.” -

“Covid hasn't really affected my beliefs at all."
“Covid hasn't really affected my beliefs at all. It's just kinda given me more time to spend reading the Bible and praying and stuff like that. Also, I've been putting an emphasis on caring for people and reconnecting my family using FaceTime....” -
2020-04-01
“So, I lost my faith a long time ago."
“So, I lost my faith a long time ago. I grew up in a parochial school system and as I grew older I realized that I didn't believe what I was being taught. The covid-19 pandemic has really just solidified my beliefs that I don't believe in a higher power. I think that if a higher power did it exist they wouldn't let something like this happen.” -
2020-04-01
“Well, covid-19 really hasn't affected my faith or belief other than..."
“Well, covid-19 really hasn't affected my faith or belief other than the aspect that the church is closed but I'm still able to pray every night with my family and do Christian traditions like usual and especially with Easter last week I was still able to celebrate and was able to communicate with my family via Zoom. So that’s pretty cool.” “With me being Christian, to my knowledge it's currently not gathering. It’s all going to be over like online…” -
2020-04-01
“So far it hasn't really had any affect."
“So far it hasn't really had any affect. If anything, it's just made connection stronger with Jehovah. I find myself talking to him and praying to him more often than I usually would. So, so far it's just been positive changes in regards to me and my religious beliefs and practicing them and putting them into practice.” -
2020-04
“Affected? Umm... well I guess it's affected my faith or beliefs..."
“Affected? Umm... well I guess it's affected my faith or beliefs um because my religious practice has been affected so... I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and we have our biggest bi-yearly conference in May and April and that conference was canceled and it was done all remotely.” -
2020-04-01
“I would not say that covid-19 has affected my faith or beliefs really..."
“I would not say that covid-19 has affected my faith or beliefs really in any noticeable way.” “Because of covid-19 my religious community has held gatherings virtually through Facebook live which has been mainly online services. I still participate regularly though obviously it's a little different with the online experience not being able to physically be there.” “My religious community has been providing service by having a blessing box which has food for anyone who needs some as well as making cards to send to elderly people who are currently more isolated than normal and lonely.” -

"Uh... very little. It has done nothing but support..."
"Uh... very little. It has done nothing but support previously held faiths and encouraged me in personal growth." "Uh... the community is still gathering but not physcially. Uh... we moved everything online that is possible. As for participation within it, um the um everyone in charge has gone out of their way..." -
2020-04-01
“Covid-19 has affected my beliefs in the way that..."
“Covid-19 has affected my beliefs in the way that it has made me strengthen my faith and I am a Christian and believe in Jesus Christ.” “No.” “Covid-19 has affected my participation in my religious community by social distancing not being able to gather in prayer and congregate for worshipping.” “Yes, my religious community helps with passing out lunches to the kids of the community that are underprivileged and don't have access to any lunch nor breakfast because they're closing up the schools.” -

“I think it has strengthened my faith actually."
“I think it has strengthened my faith actually. I don't know what all this means and I don't necessarily believe it's God sent or anything like that but I definitely feel like it's god allowed like he's allowed this thing to happen for some reason and so whether it's to get our attention or to… I don't know. I don't know but I feel like there's almost like a forced stillness and I think in this forced stillness it'd be wise to take advantage of that time and really strengthen things.” -
2020-04
“I think that the covid-19 pandemic has strengthened my faith..."
“I think that the covid-19 pandemic has strengthened my faith and my beliefs. I find myself looking to the Lord more and more each day as we wait for a solution. My personal practice has grown and has grown with my family as we have more time together to pray.” -
2020-04
“I'm not really sure if it's affected my faith or beliefs."
“I'm not really sure if it's affected my faith or beliefs. I've definitely been praying a lot more specifically for like family and just protection and things like that so I can't say it's negatively impacted but it’s probably made me use my faith a little bit more.” -
2020-04
“To be honest it hasn't affected my faith very much at all."
“To be honest it hasn't affected my faith very much at all. I was a spiritual guy going into covid-19 and I still am. So I still believe that God's will be done so this is just part of his bigger plan and I'm doing my best to accommodate that and live in the moment.” -
2020-04
“It hasn't really challenged my faith or my beliefs."
“It hasn't really challenged my faith or my beliefs. I think it's helped me lean on them more. It's definitely stretched it a little bit but in the sense of refocusing my faith in Jesus and just in this season allowing sometimes the difficult moments to refocus us and putting our focus on what we believe. So, it hasn't really changed it in a bad sense. It's actually strengthened it I believe.” -
2020-04
“I think it has brought it to light a little bit more than normal..."
“I think it has brought it to light a little bit more than normal just because there's some confusion and fear and I was thinking they don't... they always say there is no atheist in a foxhole. So, yeah, it brings it to light but I think it's nice that I've always had that routine or that in the background to just rely on anyway and now it just goes a little deeper.” -
2020-04
“I believe my faith has grown stronger because of it.”
“I believe my faith has grown stronger because of it.” “Yes, we’re still gathering. It is through the internet. Our small groups are through the internet as well.” Yeah, so, I belong to Saddleback Church and we’re in Orange County. We have something that's called the peace forum and we grow vegetables and fruit and also take donations. We are providing those to all of the needy in our community.” -
2020-04
“I feel that covid-19 has made my beliefs stronger..."
“I feel that covid-19 has made my beliefs stronger because we have to rely on faith and that God is in control and we're not.” “No, it's just all online like all the services are online. No.” “Yeah, so our church and another church close by are offering a food drive every Thursday night and people drive through our church parking lot to receive a box of food.” -
2020-04
"I would say... you know the church is a community..."
"I would say... you know the church is a community and so that's kinda one of the main things so it definitely affects my faith in the sense that I can't be a part of my faith community in person. Um... it has affected my faith in that I I work at church you know and so I can't really effectively lead that community as well as I normally would you know as when we can meet in person." -

Colombian stucked in SouthAfrica during Covid-19.
I came to SouthAfrica for 20 days to do a volunteer program in a game reserve. Couldn’t get to Colombia. Im living my Quarantine with a southafrican family who helps me and now we are very close. I was so lucky. This could be the worst thing of my life. But know im so grateful to meet these beautiful, warm people. My southafrican angels.
