I don't see why our villagers can't have their own ideals as everyone does in real life. It wouldn't be too realistic if they didn't have their general sense of spirituality.

Many people view the villagers of VV1 as having a Chinese religion based on the idol, temple and their spirituality. The golden child as well seems to be like a Buddhist monk. Remember that this is just another opinion that was not announced by LDW.

There is a lot of room for every person to get comfortable with their villagers, although some people seem to pick out what they view as negative factors to their spirituality.
