“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.” -

“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.” -

“At this point, there's been real no effect on my faith or beliefs."
“At this point, there's been real no effect on my faith or beliefs. My faith and beliefs are just that, my faith and beliefs. No pandemic,other natural occurrences, or otherwise will affect either.” “Well, since my arrival here in Kentucky quite a few years ago, I really haven't found a church to my liking so I don't really participate in any churches or other religious gatherings. For myself, my mind and my body are my church so no effect at all for myself but from what I do understand though that some churches have been affected as far as not being able to gather and I do understand as well from in the news that some churches are still gathering against the governor's restrictions…” -

“To be honest, it has not affected my faith or belief at all..."
“To be honest, it has not affected my faith or belief at all because I wasn't religious prior to this pandemic so I'm still not. The only time that I did feel the need to pray or have any religious art in my life was when I thought I was sick and I was scared that I might die so I prayed or anytime I start to feel sick and think that I'm getting sick I pray.” -

“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.” -

“It has affected my faith and beliefs in a good way since my family and friends are helping.” “Well, they're not gathering.” “Due to covid-19, we're not able to engage in our community.” -

“You know... I've kind of given that a lot of thought..."
“You know... I've kind of given that a lot of thought just because so many people so many programs I've been watching people are saying like this is a punishment or that God is trying to say something and I actually don't feel like it's impacted my faith because I've already had so much happened to me in my past with the death of my children so this is just another glitch in life I guess.” -

"Um... for me it hasn't really because I'm not religious..."
"Um... for me it hasn't really because I'm not religious but for people in my town it has." "Mm... they can't go to thier church services or any gatherings or anything like that so everything they're doing is now at home and they can't go to their volunteer work for their church." -

"As the cases kept getting higher and higher..."
"As the cases kept getting higher and higher, I felt more inclined to press into the God and press into the Lord um even as my anxiety and stress went higher and higher because of the fact that I kept thinking I might have it I might have it but I did not have it at all really." -

“I would say it hasn't really impacted me directly..."
“I would say it hasn't really impacted me directly in terms of my personal beliefs but I did grow up in a faith or an organized religion if you will that definitely takes it's strengths and its inspiration from gathering and sharing in you know social activities with one another so I could imagine those who partake in those activities are probably having a difficult time at this moment.” -

"I have found it a little difficult because we can't have our regularly scheduled church services."
"I have found it a little difficult because we can't have our regularly scheduled church services. However, I have pretty much still been going to church as scheduled because I am the head worship leader of the church so we do our live church services like our online church services so I am a big part of that."
