Wang Guan, a lawyer of Beijing Shangquan Law Firm, believes that improper words and deeds may cause the public to misunderstand religion, reduce the evaluation of religion in the public mind, and may lead to the damage of religious reputation and disrupt social order. No matter whether their behavior is "fun" or "malicious", the public security department will impose administrative fines, detention and other penalties according to the severity of the consequences caused by their actions, and the detention can last up to 15 days.
Wang Guan said that if they are suspected of posing as religious people in religious costumes to defraud money, they will be suspected of fraud and will be criminally punished.
