The largest ethnic groups are Kinh 85.32%, Tay 1.92%, Thái 1.89%, Mường 1.51%, Hmong 1.45%, Khmer 1.37%, Nùng 1.13%, Dao 0.93%, Hoa 0.78%, with all others accounting for the remaining 3.7% (2019 census).

The majority of Vietnamese embrace traditional religions, including venerating ancestors and praying to deities, especially during holidays like Tết. Folk religions originated from cultural beliefs influenced by Confucianism and Taoism from ancient China, as well as Buddhism (Phat giao). These three beliefs, or tam giao, were eventually supplemented by Christianity (Catholicism, Công giao), which has gained prominence. Vietnam has two indigenous religions: syncretic Caodaism (Dao Cao Dai) and quasi-Buddhist Hoahaoism (Phat giao Hoa Hao).

According to Pew Research Center estimates from 2010, the majority of Vietnamese people (45.3%) practiced folk religions. In total, 16.4% of the population was Buddhist (Mahayana), 8.2% were Christians, and around 30% were unaffiliated with any faith. The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is officially an atheist state, according to the communist government.

According to the Government Committee for Religious Affairs, as of 2018, Buddhists accounted for 14.9% of the total population, Christians 8.5% (Catholics 7.4% and Protestants 1.1%), Hoahao Buddhists 1.5%, and Caodaism adherents 1.2%. Hinduism, Islam, and the Baháʼí Faith account up less than 0.2 percent of the population. Folk religions (worship of ancestors, gods, and goddesses), which are not included in government statistics, have seen a rebirth since the 1980s.
