They are not as powerful as you thouth, but they are VNese and I don't want VN govt to resort to violence. Normally, they are all respected citizens, but when they have to choose between the country and God, they will absolutely choose God. Land of all VNese, no it's the land of God. Most of our problems with Christians are when govt decide to take back lands of church or the sourrounding area that the Church owns. VN has a policy: all land belongs to govt, people only own the right to use the land, govt can take back and pay compensation for the land when they see the need. Christians protest. They say Church is the house of God, surrouding area is land of god. Men cannot take anything from God. And when govt use force to take back, vantican and human right organizations jump right in.
