"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."

“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....”

“It's really re-upped my belief in God because I know that through God we will be able to get through this and everything is going to be okay in the end.” “We're not gathering at church anymore but we're doing Zoom meetings and we are having support groups online and that's been really helpful.” “We've been doing some food drives to get food to a lot of the central workers and the elderly and also just like providing emotional and spiritual support for those in need.”

“I think it affected it in a good way where people always tell me like God's going to provide for you and he's there for you and I'm like uh-huh sure but I got lucky enough to get a job that’s essential so I still get to work and still get to be with people that I love outside of my family and get a pay raise that let’s me pay my bills and let me really believe that God is actually providing for me and made me actually have a stronger faith than I was having before covid.”

“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.”

“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…”

“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. 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."

“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.”

“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.”

“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 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..."

“Covid-19 hasn't directly impacted my faith or belief system so far.” “I do not currently participate in a religious community.” “My… I don't have a current one however I have seen of churches gathering supplies for those in need and helping to take care of the elderly in their communities.”
