剑桥研究表明，信仰有助于应对流行病。 Faith Aids Coping in Pandemic, Cambridge Study Suggests.

剑桥大学的一项新研究发现，在 2020 年和 2021 年 COVID-19 封锁期间，有宗教信仰的人比无宗教信仰的人经历的不快乐和压力可能更低。 A new study by the University of Cambridge has found that individuals of religious faith may have experienced lower levels of unhappiness and stress than non-religious people during the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020 and 2021. 研究表明，在危机时期，例如全球公共卫生紧急情况下，宗教可能成为恢复力和支持的来源。 The research suggests that religion may act as a source of resilience and support during times of crisis, such as a global public health emergency. 研究发现，虽然封锁与不快乐感的增加有关，但对于那些自认为有宗教信仰的人来说，不快乐感的平均增加要低 29%。 The study found that while lockdowns were associated with an increase in feelings of unhappiness, the average increase was 29% lower for those who identified as religious.
