It is not a swipe at believers. I wholly accept that there are those who do believe in a God, and have every right to do so.
But in the case of CV-19 some religious communities have seen infection rates well above the general population. Whether this arises from an embedded sense of community, cultural behaviours, socio economic factors, or adherence to religious ritual is questionable.
Thus the original comment was made somewhat "tongue in cheek".
