Abstract

Over the past year, preventing covid-19 has become a part of all human life. Globally, as of 5:54 pm CEST, 27 July 2021, there have been 194,608,040 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 4,170,155 deaths, reported to WHO. Covid-19 leads to many deaths, which is a great challenge for human medical technology, and it is also worth studying in the field of humanities. In an epidemic situation, people’s decisions will be affected by their own cultural environment. This work aims to explore the impact of Christianity on human rational or irrational choices during covid-19. Here, we use the application of Rational Choice Theory (RCT) as the basis for our research, collected relevant information on major events related to Christianity during the period. In conclusion, the research shows that the judgment of rationality and irrationality of behavior should only be determined by the objective perspective and position of the judge. Christian culture is diverse, so it contributes to both rational and irrational choices.
