  During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Church closed its physical doors for the
first time in about 800 years, which is, arguably, a cataclysmic event. Other
religions have found themselves in a similar situation, and they were
practically forced to move online, which is an unprecedented occasion. In this
paper, we analyse this sudden change in religious activities twofold: we create
and deliver a questionnaire, as well as analyse Twitter data, to understand
people's perceptions and activities related to religious activities online.
Importantly, we also analyse the temporal variations in this process by
analysing a period of 3 months: July-September 2020. Additionally to the
separate analysis of the two data sources, we also discuss the implications
from triangulating the results.
