I think that you should do a little research. You'll find that Solath Sar was super into buddhism, and that buddhism (as the state religion, no less) was the ground from which the khmer rouge originally sprang.
It was political expediency and concerns of legitimacy that eventually put the apparatus on blast, combined with drumming up the antipathies held by any poor people in which a particular social strata had accumulated immense wealth for itself relative to the rest of the proles. They never could really get rid of their own buddhist trappings though, because they worked so well to manipulate those same proles, as they always had in the preceding centuries.
