The covid-19 pandemic have an impact on the social and personal lives of individuals, leading them to develop new forms of adaptation and response to crisis situations. From this perspective, religious coping theory highlights the possibility of coping with stressful situations in ways related to the sacred. The proposed work is part of the studies on Temporal Perspective (PT) in its relationship with religiosity, The aim of contribute is to investigate the relation between religiosity, the use of religion as a coping tool, anxiety for the times to come, and the prospect of the transcendental future in the period of the pandemic Covid-19. According to this, we administered a survey on sample of subjects of the Neapolitan Protestant Christian population of the Evangelical Churches of the Assemblies of God in Italy (A.D.I.). So, we carried out a multidimensional analysis to discover the relationships between the variables analyzed.
