I think North Korea is primarily Atheist. What do they teach? Define "atheist". Soon after the Wall fell, I stayed with a family in East Berlin. The father was high in the Ministry of Science and Technology for the old East Germany. He spent a fair amount of time in North Korea. According to him, and I have no real reason to doubt him, it was common for North Korean homes to have a shrine to the leader who was venerated as a god. I doubt if this has changed.

What does that have to do with anything?

Shamanism is still big in both North and South Korea, which is just more primitive mythology.

Christianity is also blended with Shamanism. Most people on earth are fine with made upi stuff. Only a few escape the mythological illusion they are born into!

", religion in North Korea primarily consists of Buddhism andConfucianism and to a lesser extent Korean shamanism and syncretic Chondogyo. Since the arrival of Europeans in the 18th century, there is also a Christian minority.

NORTH KOREA RELIGION. Today, Juche is no longer just an ideology, but a full-fledged religion that worships Kim Il Sung as god, and his son, Kim Jong Il as the son of god. Whether or not Kim Jong Un is now worshipped as the grandson of god remains to be seen."
