Well, if we wanna get into the subtleties of this, I could argue that a lot of people go to church to stay sober or to cope with other issues, and closing churches could be a net negative on the overall mental health of the community. AA is famous for this concept Fortunately, virtual services exist and have been offered by most churches, giving those that depend on churchgoing for their mental health the option to attend even with in-person services unavailable. It's not a perfect solution, no, but it certainly alleviates a lot of the problem. To clarify, I don't think that closing churches is without consequence. For many, church is as much about the community aspect as it is the worship, and missing out on that does have an adverse effect on their mental health. It's just a lot easier to deal with people being kinda lonely than it is to deal with hospitals being clogged up by a bunch of seizing alcoholics, so there's absolutely no basis to claim that closing churches and not liquor stores means there's a grand conspiracy afoot that doesn't actually care about people's health.
