Codaism is a religion unique to Vietnam - sort of a "Greatest Hits" selection blended from Budhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, and Judiasm with some Confucianism, Taoism, Shintoism and Ancestor worship thrown in for good measure.
At one time this church had a good deal of power in what was then Cochina - they even had their own army.
