The COVID-19 pandemic gave rise to societal conflicts in which different actors resisted government regulations aimed at curbing the spread of the virus. In the United States and Canada, these disputes were subsumed into wider patterns of sociopolitical polarization as well as a type of conflict known as “culture war.” In this article, I focus on one demographic that offered resistance to government restrictions: Christians who interpreted the virus as a signal of the end times. Using this group as an example of a broader government-resistant coalition, I argue for the use of peacebuilding dialogue as a response to polarization, division and culture war. In particular, I examine the relevance of the “deep democracy” dialogue paradigm to this type of conflict.
