Abstract: The Coronavirus crisis has had such intricate implications in people’s life that its full effect cannot yet be unraveled. The aim of this research is to analyze certain relationships that occurred between religion, life satisfaction and financial satisfaction, all during the Coronavirus pandemic in the Netherlands. In order to achieve this, the authors have undergone a detailed analysis of one of the largest longitudinal panels in Europe. Results showed that members of certain religious denominations had higher life satisfaction levels compared to members of other religious cults. Also, it appears that spiritual people exhibit lower life satisfaction levels. The results indicate that amid the Coronavirus pandemic, religion and spirituality can play a role in individual’s lives, as more and more people turn to divinity in times of uncertainty.
