There are actually six major religions in North Korea. The percentages of the 23,301,725 population that believe in the following religions are:

71.2% Atheist

12.9% Cheondoism

12.3% North Korean Shamanism

2.1% Christianity

1.5% Buddhist

0.0001% minghiusm

I'm not a mathematician so I couldn't narrow it down to the top three. But Hinduism is not a major or even minority religion in North Korea.

Given the political situation of the country, there is no way of knowing for sure. As religious freedom is one of many freedoms that the North Koreans do not have, the question cannot really be answered. Effectively, religion is not allowed in North Korea, even though the government there say it is and have made Propaganda films showing faith ceremonies. This is, sadly, in the same sense that the country is a democracy, even though it only has one party (its official name translates as "The People's Democratic Republic of Korea" or DPRK for short)

The best you can have to an answer is that 100% of the country is atheist*, as there is no other choice.

*The asterisk is represents the fact that the "Dear Leader" or "Eternal President" (Kim Il-Sung, Kim Jong Il, etc.) is revered and prayed to as if he were a god, but since the North Koreans do not use the term "god", they are considered to be atheists.
