Pavel Herman, the article’s author, noted that Vietnam is home to about 24 million believers, making up about 27 percent of its population. Some 95 percent of Vietnamese lead their lives according to religious beliefs.
He dubbed the Southeast Asian nation, with around 8,000 festivals each year, as the world’s museum of religions which helps enrich the country’s culture.
The article said such religions and beliefs, despite their differences in origins and practice, have existed harmoniously, reflecting the rich spiritual life of the Vietnamese as well as the great national unity bloc they built up.
