I strongly doubt that people patronize strip clubs to read Bible there. More likely than not, the main reason for them to do so is to engage what most people would call 'lewd behavior' to some extent, regardless of its legal implications. If an authority licenses a strip club and expects that people will be reading homilies and occasionally playing dominos there needs a serious reality check.
As so many times in the past, a few hotheads with some executive power challenge the existing state of things. Inevitably, a reaction will follow, and lots of time, energy and money will be wasted on dealing with genuine non-issues.
I cannot think of any industry that happens to be more resilient than the sex-related services industry. No government in known history has ever won the moral, legal or judicial crusade against the service providers who cater to one of the very basic human drives.
But the tactics may be useful when distracting people from the real issues that the political elite may not be able to resolve.
