Abstract: In this study, the author aimed to clarify some issues concerning the relationship between religion and the COVID-19 pandemic from a (mental) health perspective. The conclusion reached is that only three of the factors related to religion, COVID-19 and mental health have been investigated in the literature: Religious doctrinal responses to the pandemic - the effect of religiosity/spirituality on promoting health in the COVID-19 pandemic type; changes in religious behavior - the effect of spiritual connections, religious practices, 'social distancing', religion as a risk of virus spread, restrictions, and technology; and religious confrontations - the effects of religiosity/spirituality on (promoting) health. Prejudice, i.e., attitudes and behavior towards religious groups that increase suffering and precipitate mental illness, was ignored.
