While the religion's founders apparently attempted to devise a new and more effective ideology meant to connect people with the divine, some individuals interpret this as being proof that the Vietnamese culture lost significant ground as elements from both the West and the East pervaded it and encouraged more than two million Vietnamese to join a religion that had nothing to do with their background and with their culture as a whole (Vadas).

Cao Daism is a relatively modern religion and the fact that it incorporates elements borrowed from a series of other, older, religious ideologies is visible through behavior displayed by its followers and through the architecture present in its temples.
Both the religion's principles and its temples put across vibrant messages and encourage individuals to open their minds with the purpose of being able to comprehend the complexity of life. The religious ideology largely promotes the idea that it is constructive for people to be religion, but it emphasizes that one needs to be able to filter the positive aspects of a religion in order to experience success in developing a stronger relationship with the divine. While it is difficult to ignore how Cao Daism altered certain parts of Vietnamese culture, it is nonetheless intriguing to observe the positive message the religion puts across.
