“…Another crucial factor for vaccine refusal was being religious [ 37 ]. Our findings might suggest that since the Pope, Bishops were urging for COVID-19 vaccination in a video message, and were praising scientists for vaccines, calling it an act of love, fostering hope, and stressing the need for widespread availability to end the pandemic, it should have affected the vaccination rates in catholic countries [ 37 , 38 ].…”

Introduction Vaccine hesitancy is an ongoing problem and determining the factors that increase the vaccination rate in various countries of the world might be useful for further implementation of efficient public health policies and negating anti-vaccination campaigns. Materials and methods Human Development Index (HDI), Education Index (EI), Democracy Index (DI), COVID-19 vaccination rates, COVID-19 data were collected from public sources such as UNDP - Human Development Reports, UNESCO - Education Index, Economist Intelligence, WHO– COVID-19 Dashboard, Our World In Data, The Financial Times COVID-19 Dashboard. Statistical analysis such as Pearson correlation, and linear regression analyses were done to determine a relation between the above-mentioned indices and COVID-19 vaccination rates (1-dose, 2-dose, booster, and combined). Results HDI had the strongest positive correlation with the vaccination rates (1-dose– r (181) = 0.632, p < 0.001, 2-dose– r (181) = 0.671, p < 0.001, booster– r (181) = 0.718, p < 0.001, combined– 0.703, p < 0.001). EI (1-dose– r (177) = 0.560, p < 0.001, 2-dose– r (177) = 0.599, p < 0.001, booster– r (177) = 0.642, p < 0.001, combined– 0.626, p < 0.001), DI (1-dose– r (163) = 0.445, p < 0.001, 2-dose– r (163) = 0.479, p < 0.001, booster– r (163) = 0.534, p < 0.001, combined– 0.508, p < 0.001), as well as Geographic location (1-dose– η (Eta) = 0.610 p < 0.001, 2-dose– η (Eta) = 0.633 p < 0.001, booster– η (Eta) = 0.657, p < 0.001, combined– η (Eta) = 0.645, p < 0.001) had positive correlation with vaccination rates. Conclusion There is a strong positive correlation of COVID-19 vaccination rates with HDI and EI.

“…This includes young adults who participate in Bible study sessions on tablets. According to the research of Lacsa (2022) proliferation of apps for the Bible, Torah, and Quran on smartphones is helping to contribute to the growing acceptance of digital copies of holy writings. This is particularly true in the case of the Christian community.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the scope of the world, and various stakeholders have used technological advancements around the world. Fear of death and health emergencies have brought people closer to religion. However, social and other limitations have made it hard for people to keep their religious duties. This study examines the use of technology and the online church for Christian services during the COVID-19 lockdown period, which is not in accordance with the concept of congregation. The author discusses the validity of the use of technology and online church by Christians and how it impacts traditional worship services from biblical and theological perspectives. Research Findings show the high attendance after the change from traditional worship services to the use of technology and online church. The data used in this study is secondary data that was found through desk research and reliable sources. The research findings indicate big effects on all parts of society and religion, which should not be a surprise. The epidemic has changed religious practices from traditional to online church and contradicts biblical injunctions. Most religions, including Christian ones, put a lot of emphasis on the importance of community. It has been found that online churches have become popular in the proposed areas, and the technology provides a better opportunity for Christians in Nigeria, the Balkans, and Indonesia to carry out their religious obligations by following lockdown restrictions
