Religion and emergency rules

What is the impact of emergency situations (COVID-19, Russian-Ukrainian conflict) on religion and and its public dimension? Does the outbreak of emergency situations emphasize the politicization of religion and cause new waves of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia? Does the emergency justify the distrust towards some religious groups, accused of having favored the spread of the pandemic or of supporting armed conflict? These are some issues that the Messina Unit, as part of a PRIN Project on “Religion and emergency rules”, aims to provided responses. Here,  a survey will be delivered,  whose aim is is to monitor the feedback of civil society, investigating its main trends.
