Irreligion in North Korea

Irreligion in North Korea is difficult to measure in the country as the country is officially designated as atheist.^[1] The North Korean persecutes those who stray from the official state sponsored atheism and the Juche idea.^[2] North Koreans by western definitions would be considered non-religious but Buddhist and Confucian traditions still play a part in North Korean life.^{[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]}
