Well you could argue that they are more likely to rely on prayer rather than medicine and practical behaviours so more of them will die, so hurting religion. But most of them are hypocrites anyway so they'll say one thing and do another. So it will probably have little effect.

I don't think it will make any difference.

Well if there is any consolation more priests (pedophiles) are dying now.

Help. When insecure, unthinking folks are threatened by calamity or death, they turn to religion to be saved.

Maybe hurt fundamentalists' effort IF the government continues to squash the selling of religious cure-alls and snake-oil

I think it will be a tough call. Some people will see its futility at solving their problems but others are as likely to find hope, perhaps to see loved ones who died, or a loved one who was ill and recovered (attributed perhaps to prayer).

If there is a god, he/she/other either does not care, or is helpless to do something about all the human suffering in this world. (Sam Harris)

It is hurting it right now at one level- in Australia all mosques and churches are closing by govt edict to ensure gatherings of over 100 are not spreading the virus. This in turn will hurt the offertory income on which they rely.
At another level, this will heighten anxiety in the wider community and cause some to turn to god(s). Others will leave disillusioned.
So then, there will be mixed results when this is all over.

The Fourth Seal—Death
7 When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come.” 8 I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
Notice the word ""pestilence."" I think the coronavirus qualifies as pestilence. I suspect that the religious bigots will say that Bible Prophecy is coming true..

With fools who are willing to send their money to the likes of a Jim Bakker, it will make no difference, I believe. Otherwise, I see it as a toss up. However, emotionally, I am hopeful that it will thin their ranks, severely.

We will get more resilient through science and they will have heard it all before through pestilence and plagues so will not improve and therefore stay less flexible than they could be and more susceptible to evolutionary change i,e more likely to die out.

I find in my humble (and my arrogant) opinion that religion (all of mans) are but myth and fiction - however I don't expect to see any real change in my lifetime. I am a devout (LOL) secular Buddhist and don't cotton to any made up deity

It will make no difference whatsoever because the ignorant love this.

I think it will sort out the hypocrites.

Help in the short term (far), hurt in the long. Think about it, going to church is bad for your health right now. Or at least increases the risk of bad health. God has no power.

Pretty much depends how the churches try to spin it.

It is certainly time for all bricks to be in the air. It depends on how they fall into order when it is over .

If will help those who believe the end is near. Hopefully, it will wake people up and realize that their gods are not real.

Hurt. Their supposed god is obviously powerless. Those teetering on belief will recognize that. The deepest believers will probably die.

Of course there will be surviving idiots ..who’ll bless their god they didn’t die … so those in the realm of realism must stay vigilant

I sincerely hope it hurts all the religions. Bring the so called believers back to reality and commonsense.

What an interesting question, I thought. And thought, but could not come up with an answer. Yet I wanted to know the truth myself. I too don't trust the Abrahamic religions to be overly threatened by anything. Over the centuries they have become so saturated with power that they seem to think they are God. A God of their own making!
I think it would depend on the power of the climax this pandem reaches. But it begs the question, if there is a God, why is this permitted. ... and so many other atrocities.

Personally, I think the virus will end-up hurting religion. Of course, some will pray more often with more enthusiasm. However, the world is moving away from religion, although slowly. I think many will see that Science, not religion is better suited for solving crises.
In the end, it might hurt and help to the same degree. We never know how religious cults like Christianity and Islam will react.

Hopefully this is the Rapture that they have been praying for!!!

We can expect it too take a lot of then out as prayer will not save the vast majority!!!

to the faithful any result (good or bad) will reinforce their beliefs. but it is helpful to continuously point out the hollow (and often harmful) results of religious beliefs and practices in a time where science needs to be at the forefront to those who have a more rational sense . . . hopefully change their minds

When people are scared, they have a tendancy to turn to god - the very god they believe is inflicting the disease in the first place.
