Goddesses
A goddess is a female deity. In some faiths, a sacred female figure holds a central place in religious prayer and worship. For example, Shaktism (one of the three major Hindu sects), holds that the ultimate deity, the source of all reality, is Mahadevi (Supreme Goddess) and in some forms of Tantric Shaivism, the pair of Shiva and Shakti are the ultimate principle (with the goddess representing the active, creative power of God). Meanwhile, in Vajrayana Buddhism, ultimate reality is often seen as being composed of two principles depicted as two deities in union ( yab yum, "father-mother") symbolising the non-duality of the two principles of perfect wisdom (female) and skillful compassion (male). A single figure in a monotheistic faith that is female may be identified simply as god because of no need to differentiate by gender or with a diminutive. An experiment to determine the effect of psychedelics on subjects composed of leaders from diverse religious groups revealed a general ...

Religion In Vietnam
The majority of Vietnamese do not follow any organized religion, instead participating in one or more practices of folk religions, such as venerating ancestors, or praying to deities, especially during Tết and other festivals. Folk religions were founded on endemic cultural beliefs that were historically affected by Confucianism and Taoism from ancient China, as well as by various strands of Buddhism (''Phật giáo''). These three teachings or ''tam giáo'' were later joined by Christianity (Catholicism, ''Công giáo'') which has become a significant presence. Vietnam is also home of two indigenous religions: syncretic Caodaism (''Đạo Cao Đài)'' and quasi-Buddhist Hoahaoism (''Phật giáo Hòa Hảo''). The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is constitutionally a secular state that guarantees freedom of religion. While the communist government implemented atheistic policies and severely restricted religious freedom from 1975 to the late 1980s, Vietnam's current constituti ...
