鈥淎n equal opportunity assassin鈥� --this is how COVID-19 is framed by Kimberl茅 Crenshaw (2020), an influential scholar in critical race and intersectionality, during her recent interview. The subsequent waves of the outbreaks of COVID-19 have indicated the ways in which various marginalized communities have been impacted by unequal access to resources, especially health care, highlights the disposability of particular groups of societies (e.g., those in long term care facilities, those who are incarcerated). These disproportionate impacts of COVID-19 on members of our global and local communities amplify underlying inequities. One thread of the COVID-19 pandemic that has not been given sufficient scholarly and public attention is the relationship between religion and COVID-19. Scholarship on religion and public health has indicated that religion is an important 鈥渟ocial determinant鈥� of health, particularly infectious diseases such as in historical instances of the spread of the plague or a contemporary crisis of HIV/AIDS.
