Joseph Bulbulia: 本研究关注宗教在促进群体内部合作方面的作用，宗教并非总是正面或负面，其影响取决于具体情境。宗教通过仪式、神话、权威和象征性元素来促进合作。疫情期间，研究者通过收集数据，运用自然科学、生物科学和社会科学的方法来理解宗教与合作之间的关系。研究发现，疫情期间，尽管政府提供了经济保障，但人们的无价值感却显著上升，这与工作和社会交往的缺失有关。宗教组织活动的缺失也加剧了这种无价值感。合作不仅仅是互惠互利，也包括给予他人帮助和价值感的机会。一个好的文化应该让每个人都能感受到自己的价值和重要性。社会归属感比经济状况更能缓冲无价值感，促进社会归属感是疫情应对中最重要的措施。在新西兰，高度认同宗教的人更倾向于参与慈善活动。宗教在帮助人们应对疫情带来的痛苦方面发挥着关键作用。 Richard Sergay: 引导访谈，提出问题，并对Joseph Bulbulia的观点进行总结和回应。
