Had the demonstrators acted like Christ? Would Christ in a largely Godless society resort to civil disobedience in order to impose His will on others? Is civil disobedience an indication of humility?
Were the demonstrators being treated like Christ was, starved, scourged, tortured and crucified by their government? Were they denied the right to worship? The answers are no, and no. In fact, Hong Kong has quite a few Catholic churches [2].
One wonders if any of the demonstrators is Catholic and follows the teachings of Christ. Assuming that the demonstrators had prevailed and they had been given the democracy they desired, does anyone believe they can usher in an utopian society? What would they do with the dissenters? (These demonstrators were in fact in the minority since a majority of people in Hong Kong disagreed with them.) Why do the demonstrators think that their Godless government is superior to any other Godless government [3]?
Without God at the center in a person's life, within a family unit and in a society, Satan will enter and create havoc. Satan does not want any side to win. It just wants everyone to be against everyone so they can destroy each other and go to Hell.

[3] Godless governments include those hypocritical governments around the world that uses the name "God" and calls on God but are in fact Godless.
