In recent years, the People's Committee of Lac Thuy district has directed units and mass organisations to promote the popularisation of the Party's policies and resolutions and the State's laws, as well as issued guiding documents on local religious affairs.


 The Secretary of the Party cell in Dong Danh village, Phu Thanh commune (Lac Thuy district), meets local parishioners to disseminate policies and laws on belief and religion.

Through reviewing the situation of religious activities, authorities found no organisations called "Hoi thanh Duc Chua Troi Me” (World Mission Society Church of God) operating in the district. However, in Yen Bong commune, there are two citizens participating in this organisation through the Zoom application following the link of the Youtube channel "Hoi Thanh cua Duc Chua Troi" on every Tuesday and Saturday. The Party Committee and People's Committee of Yen Bong commune have directed local police, departments, and sectors to persuade these two citizens not to participate in the organisation in any form.

Statistics show that there are 72 places of worship, including temples, communal houses, and shrines across Lac Thuy. Belief practices primarily follow folk beliefs, adhering to the customs, traditions, and ethics of the nation. There are two religions in the district, Buddhism and Catholicism, with over 15,000 followers who live in all the 10 communal-level localities of Lac Thuy.

Religious organisations have seriously complied with legal regulations, conducting religious activities in accordance with their charters and principles. There are no superstitious practices, abuse of spiritual beliefs at places of worship, or abuse of religions to incite gatherings that disrupt public order.

Religious dignitaries and followers have properly adhered to the Party's policies and the State’s laws. They have also actively encouraged their fellows to lead "a good secular and religious life", enthusiastically worked, engaged in humanitarian and charitable activities in the community, contributed to socio-economic development, and helped maintain public order and social safety in the locality.

Besides, all-level administrations have always facilitated activities of religious organisations and practitioners in accordance with the law, ensuring the people's freedom of belief and religion.

Vice Chairman of the Lac Thuy People's Committee Nguyen Ngoc Van stated the district always pays attention to and creates favourable conditions for religious organisations, dignitaries, and followers to practice their beliefs and religions in line with legal regulations. It has moved quickly to meet their legitimate demand related to belief and religion.

Local authorities have also organised meetings, visited and presented gifts to belief and religious establishments on the occasion of the Lunar New Year (Tet) as well as important festivals. In addition, they have promptly updated locals about the Party and State's guidelines and policies regarding religious and belief affairs, he added.
