It has always been considered prudent to store food by our ancestors, even before the great depression, though there were and are certainly people who were effected by the GD that reinforced the idea above and beyond what some before that might of considered prudent. My grandfather's second wife, for example, would actually save bread ties and bread bags, and such like that, though the family I grew up in, has always considered it prudent to store food, and I don't think they ever lost the idea of doing so from before the GD, and no it had nothing to do with religion (in fact, my family has never been such inclined much).
