Thought I'd get a discussion page going since I added some potential categories to the page. While I'm not Vietnamese myself, I do attend a Pure Land pagoda and have followed the news about religious freedom in Vietnam. It seems to me that the pagoda is an important way that the Vietnamese culture is preserved for expatriates, and info about that might be a good thing to add here.

religion statistics

please see the discussion on religion i just added to (the top of the page) on the talk: vietnam page at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Vietnam

when i stumbled onto this page and saw what someone wrote in the top it confirmed what i thought: that the figures for buddhist followers were so low simply because the government might only consider buddhists to be the relatively small number of "practicing buddhists", disregarding the huge numbers who don't strictly follow all rites but are influenced by buddhism or visit temples.

then again i could be wrong..

does anyone have any good sources? please contribute to the discussion, this is something im very confused on.Justakemeout 18:48, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
