Interesting topic. I suspect you will get a wide range of answers on this topic. I think I would have to say that religious faith has had a minor or no role in emergency situations in which I have been involved or have witnessed. There is basically a whole lot of randomness out there - sometimes things break for you, sometimes against you.

I would describe myself as a non church attending individual who tries, imperfectly to be sure, to adhere to basic Judeo-Christian principles, the ethical matrix in which I was reared. Tolerance and respect for other traditions are important.
