Spiritual Landscape in Vietnam
There is a complex blend of Buddhism, folk beliefs and other faiths. Buddhism, with Mahayana Buddhism being dominant, is the largest organised religion, but ancestor worship is deeply ingrained in cultural practices. Catholicism and Caodaism are also significant religious groups in the country. There is almost no significant evangelical Christianity.
