∙ 13y agoThe two main religions in South Korea is Buddhism and Christian - Presbyterian. There are some catholics, but if you go out into the streets of Korea. You will see a church basically every few blocks or so. Buddhism still lives among Koreans because of their culture. Most Christians in Korea still follows few Buddhist traditions such as the Buddhist funerals for their parents.
STILL, you can say that the main "Religion" in South Korea is Atheism.
The research in South Korea (2005) showed that
about 48% were Atheist, 28% Christian, 22% Buddhism, and 2% are the rest.
In conclusion, if you did not count Atheism as religion, Christianity would dominate.
The South Koreans are very religious. They are one of the most religious countries in the world, total opposites of Japanese.
