Korea's most common religions?
There are 2 Koreas.Almost all North Koreans believe in the idea of Juche, also known "Kimilsungism" after Kim Ilsung, is the religious, political, social and economic ideology of North Korea.The Juche Idea was first introduce by Kim Ilsung in 1955 to distance North Korea from the Soviet Union, which at the time was undoing many of the Stalinist policies that Kim Ilsung liked.Over time, Juche evolved, borrowing from Marxism, Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism and Confucianism whatever Kim Ilsung and Kim Jongil wanted, as well as their own ideas, and in 1972 replaced Marxism-Leninism in the North Korean constitution as the country's official ideology.According to Juche, there is no god but Kim Ilsung, the country's "Eternal President", which makes North Korea the world's only country governed by an embalmed dead body. Juche has also attributed divine powers also to Kim Jongil.South Korea has more traditional religions. 23% are Buddhist,20% are Protestant Christian11% are Catholic ChristiansAround 1% believe in Jeung Sando or Jeungism25% are secular or atheists with no religious beliefMany Villagers have no specific religious affiliation, but take on some of the principles and customs of Buddhism.There are no other common religions in South Korea.
