Really? Its a good thing that people are going to church infecting each other and taking the infection to work and out shopping. It is a good thing that they share in many cases one cup for the entire congregation while drinking their gods blood thus making it very likely that everyone becomes infected in the church, agian so they can spread the virus to countless others. It is a good thing that they are spreading conspiracy theries about microchips bing put into the vaccine and that the vaccine will be satanic. It os a good thing that many will refuse a vaccine making herd immunity much more difficult. It is a good thing that many preachers are blaming the virus on fags, lesbos, cross dressers and atheist. It is a good thing that religious leaders are teaching that god (the bringer of the virus) will keep them safe even though they have a much higher risk of dying due to their belief in a sky fairy.

Lets just say bad role.

The simple answer to your question is "no in my opinion".

A longer answer goes like this: "Religion is merely a system of belief. It is religious people that do good and bad things. Those who claim that Covid-19 is an Act of God are doing a bad thing. Believers can also do good things: the good of humanitarianism has nothing to do with the evils of theism.".

Mostly bad but there are exceptions

Two Kansas churches sued the governor for ordering churches to constrain gatherings to 10 or fewer. It most churches adapted and held online services. So I can’t speak to religion as a monolith, as there are churches, mosques and synagogues that saw the wisdom of closing their doors during the pandemic, many ignored the orders and put their congregations, and the entire community, at risk.

Well the bad actors get most of the press but based on what one hears you'd have to say there have been a lot of bad done in the name of religion during the pandemic. All the educated Christians I know are extremely embarrassed by all this, as they are of their lemming-like brethren's embrace of Trump.

Well there's the crazy preachers that want everyone to come to church and set next to each other. I'd call that one of the bad things.
