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.

What were the causes of the Korea war?
Simple answer. USSR and Kim Ilsung (the first chairman of the people of North Korea) Korea was divided into North/South Korea after WWII. North under control of the USSR, and the South aided by the US. The USSR wasn't happy having the US having a foothold in far east Asia. Remember, China just turned communist, and Japan was an enemy of the US, and USSR occupies the cold areas is northeast Asia. Kim Ilsung saw this as an opportunity to become REALLY powerful. He got the USSR to aid him in a plan to take over the south and re-unite Korea. He also was successful in convincing the USSR that he was going to be stooge for them. The USSR was so convinced they gave him whatever he asked for. The Korean War was Kim Ilsung's attempt to Unify the two Koreas, the way the gods had meant it to be. South Korea was supposed to be a pushover anyways. The south had flatter land and was somewhat warmer so it was populated by farmers and their lands. The north had the factories, minerals, and coal. Somehow, the US, UN and south Koreans stopped the invasion. When McArthur rushed north, the Chinese who bordered north Korea, got rather upset, and after massacre after massacre, we ended up with pretty much the original dividing line between North and South Korea.

Why don't North Koreans protest Kim Jong Un's rule and accept his totalitarian bullying?
Fear is the number one reasonthe North Koreans, and people in general do not protest the rule and totalitarian bullying of a dictator like Kim Jong Un. When the result of your protesting could be death, or imprisonment and torture, people think twice about revolting.
