Role of Religion During Conflict: Source of Comfort

One evangelical Christian missionary said that “during the heat of intense fighting you will find a gathering of people in their homes worshiping and praising God.”

I am skeptical—but this does make meaning of faith/religion in crisis. Despite the fact that my faith is very important to me, I don't think that I could be this way in the face of such frightening and horrible circumstances.

What are your thoughts?

  1. I don't think I could either but they might have more of a chance than those who flee. I would be interested if there were statistics on how many who thus participated survived.
