The Coconut Religion (Vietnamese: Đạo Dừa or Hòa đồng Tôn giáo)[1] is a now-discontinued religion indigenous to southern Vietnam’s “Coconut Kingdom”, where it was founded in 1963. The religion is largely based on some Buddhist and Christian beliefs, alongside the teachings of founder Nguyễn Thành Nam, a Vietnamese scholar. The religion was abolished by Vietnamese authorities in 1975. At its peak, the religion had some 4,000 followers.
