Answer 1

Although only half of South Koreans profess an organized religion, sociologists consider the society to be very religious. Most of those who are non-affiliated practice syncretism in regards to the other faiths. The urban and more educated sectors are the most religious, with rural areas practicing more syncretic beliefs and usually being classified as non-religious. Among those who do affiliate with an organized religion, the majority accept Christianity (49%). There's a considerable Buddhist population too (35%), and a small Islamic population (<10%).

Also, South Korea sends out the second most Christian missionaries in the world (after the US).

Answer 2

I don't believe South Korea has one religion that is the most common. It is a hodgepodge. While Protestant Christianity is growing, it only is accepted by 20% of the population. It does do well in the cities. 11% of the Population are Catholics and 25% are some kind of Buddhist. Another 20% are not particularly religious, but do follow some traditional Buddhist customs and accept some of the precepts of Confucius. Another 2% belong to the Moonies or some other cult. The remainder are secular, atheist and agnostic and so don't have a recognized Religion.
