It is widely accepted that an individual’s cultural environment (the media they consume, the local political climate, etc.) shape their ideas about the compatibility between science and religion. This study explores that theory in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, examining survey data from 7,844 individuals in order to comment on the correlation between the number of religious precautions that each participant was undertaking during the pandemic (e.g. praying) and the number of public health precautions (e.g. masking). Twenty-seven countries are used as a proxy for 27 distinct cultures.
