Based on media representations, priests from Buddhism, Catholicism, and other religions complied with income tax payments, while some Protestant clergy resisted, even threatening to withdraw the Christian vote at the ballot box for politicians supporting the tax. Such representation of concerns over some Protestant churches has been galvanized by the anti-Protestant churches. This chapter analyses the media narratives of Protestant churches reluctant to pay tax with reference to those churches that have attracted public concern. Protestant pastor’s reluctance to pay tax and their sense of privilege exposed anti-Christian sentiment and hindered tax negotiations between pastors and legislators. Protestant pastors also sought preferential treatment, which they achieved. However, the government’s effort to tax all income-earning citizens equitably could have allowed Protestantism to regain public trust. Unfortunately, the churches’ individualistic congregationism, privilege seeking, and insistence on their unique service-providing role obstructed this chance. Neo-Confucian culture and undemocratic decision-making in the congregation continue to sustain the outdated practices, exacerbating the decline and negative image of Christianity. The critical exposure of Protestantism in the media has negatively affected it.
