>saying they didn't get vaccinated because they are conservatives, wondering how things could have gone so horribly wrong. There's an entire subreddit dedicated to this and the patterns of behavior from these people become clear pretty quickly. They think prayers are more effective than vaccines.

It's truly maddening. I have friends who refuse to get vaxxed and claim everyone will get it and those who die from it "that's just life".

  Based on what I've heard from interviews from doctors and nurses, these people change their tune incredibly quickly once they have been diagnosed with Covid and start suffering from some of the more severe the symptoms of the disease.

The ones I've seen said it was because they are conservatives or republicans specifically, not because they were religious. It wouldn't surprise me if there's both though. But yes there clearly is a religious dimension to this, which again there just isn't at all over here in Europe bar some fringe cults. But it's the political affiliation that seems to be the defining factor. I know there's been an anti-vax movement, but as far as I'm aware that wasn't a mainstream Christian position across the evangelical landscape in the US. Fringe yes, but a tiny fraction of the levels we're seeing for covid.
