I picked up a religious leaflet that said (this from memory, approximately) that nuclear war would have to actually start, then god would step in to sort things out. Can't remember the sect, might have been jehova's witnesses.

That's probably "dispensationalism".[1] This is tied up with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, involves Israel's role in "End Times", and is taken too seriously by parts of the US religious right. Searching for that term will lead you to some weird places. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispensationalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispensationalism
