In 1975, Vietnam became a communist nation. It is one of the five remaining communist countries on Earth. This government believes all religion to be “a threat to national security.” Even though the Vietnamese government grants their people religious freedom, the list of offenses can be interpreted broadly and therefore, Christians and pastors are imprisoned on a daily basis. Vietnamese authorities have been trying to take land away from the Catholic church in Ho Chi Min city by using pressure tactics. The uncertainty of what is wrong and what is right for Christians to practice makes it hard for them to spread their beliefs the way they would like to. How would you feel if you were threatened daily because of your religion?
