Provincial Assemblyman Hwang Mu-tian believes the people's fanaticism for religion is due to their lack of confidence in the government. Government officials don't consider how to improve public order, yet in order to gain votes they jump wholeheartedly into religious activities, hoping to distract the attention of society. Such a backward method cannot be expected to bring anything good in return.
不過一些民意代表仍大力抨擊，省議員黃木添認為，民眾所以對宗教狂熱是因為對政府沒有信心，政府官員不思如何改善治安，卻為了選票跟著民眾一頭栽進宗教活動，想藉此轉移社會的注意，根本是本末倒置的作法，哪裡還會有什麼福報。
