Best Answer

It exists only in North Korea and was started as Propaganda to make people value Kim Jong Il. Kim Jong Il was born in a hospital in Russia and the Juche religion is a made up story to make the people think that he was born magically by two rainbows in the mountains of North Korea so people wouldn't know about his birth in Russia while his parents were temporarily living there.

What religions are popular in North Korea?

The main religion in North Korea is the government-sanctioned religion of JUCHE. Juche, meaning "self-reliance", is a statist religion that requires veneration of Kim Il-Sung and his successive dynasty as gods and this makes the country resemble a theocracy more than the atheist secularist regimes of Communist States. Refusing to believe in Juche is treasonous.However, religious passions of people are hard to quiet and it is estimated that around 5-10% of the population also follow forms of Christianity, Buddhism, Confucianism, Korean shamanism, or Chondogyo.

Since 1955, the official religion of North Korea has been Juche. This is a political ideology created by the previous ruler (and Kim Jong-Il's father), Kim Il-sung. It emphasizes patriotism, economic self-sufficiency, and national self-defense. Instead of worship to a supreme being, the focus is upon venerating the leader of the nation. There are currently 55 million practicioners of Juche worldwide, 23 million of which live in North Korea.


What kind of religion does North Korea have?

The religion of north Korea is Juche. Many would call Juche a philosophy of government, not a religion, but it certainly has many religious elements. Juche means self-reliance. The people must worship Kim Jong ll and his dead father Kim ll Sung. Refusing to do so amounts to treason. There are other eligions in North Korea, but they are severely persecuted. There are a large number of Christians, although the exact numbers aren't known for obvious reasons. I once heard an estimate that around a quarter of all North Korean Christians were in labour camps, subject to starvation, tortue and abuse. There are 2 or 3 'show churches' in the Pyongyang to impress the Westerners, but any real churches found have there leaders detained or executed. Once a literally underground church was found whilst a road was being built to allow Kim ll Sung or Kim Jong ll in to the town, I don't remember which one. The small Christian community was discovered, the children hanged, and the rest of them bulldozed feet first because they wouldn't deny Christ. There are also Buddhists in North Korea, but this is also oppressed.
