No, quite the opposite, actually. What I meant is that on a fairly concrete scale, communities with a strong moral and religious centre tend to weather storms better than those without, especially given that Western social safety nets and institutions are decaying.
Religious communities provide charity, but also moral support, and indeed, judgement that help people who are down get back up.
