I find the difference between Judaism and Christianity when it comes to these things to be very interesting. Jewish thought when it comes to following God's laws is that when it is threatening to your life, it's ok to change for the time being. The idea is you are to live with God's laws, not die by them unnecessarily.
I think the Protestant Christian communities largely avoiding science and reason in these instances unnecessarily stupid. I know it's not all of them, but it's just really bad optics for their faith in other's eyes.
Why help the homeless and poor when you can ignore a viral outbreak to collect money!
On a positive note I imagine Pastor Joel Hunter is actually feeding the homeless and doing his best to show "God's love". Sadly he doesn't get the press coverage he deserves. I am not religious but I grew up going to Northland and he is the best messenger I ever met. Truly a Christ like figure.

As a Christian, I would say that most super-religious Christians just ignore science. I don't know if it's the teachings that make you want to bend science for your beliefs or just ignorance but there is a severe lack of respect for science in Christianity as a whole.
Our country was founded on a group of people who's religion was too radical for Europe at the time, and we've had to drag them through history all the way up until now. Faith may be good for the soul, but facts are better for your head.
Dont worry guys, Kenneth Copeland has blown the virus away........
American televangelist Kenneth Copeland, who recently claimed that the coronavirus pandemic will be "over much sooner you think" because "Christian people all over this country praying have overwhelmed it," has summoned the "wind of God" to destroy the novel coronavirus during a recent sermon.
Before blowing at the camera, he said: "I blow the wind of God on you. You are destroyed forever, and you'll never be back. Thank you, God. Let it happen. Cause it to happen."
Leading a chant surrounded by members of his church and preaching to an empty room, he called out: "Wind, almighty, strong, south wind, Heat: Burn this thing, in the name of Jesus. I say, you bow your knees. You fall on your face."
In a sermon last month, the pastor "executed judgment" on Covid-19, which he declared "finished" and "over" and made the US "healed and well again." He also demanded "a vaccination to come immediately."
