Covid-19 Pandemic was a turning point for people from almost all walks of life. The subsequent shutdowns severely impacted the academic paths of the students who had to transition urgently from a well-established face-to-face mode of instruction to online education. Higher life satisfaction during this transition was associated with lower stress levels and religion played a significant role in this relationship.
