Religion and Atheism in North Korea (view source)
Revision as of 13:48, March 26, 2013
, 13:48, March 26, 2013not sure anyone really believes in Juche - but it sure is a requirement
Under the [[militant atheism|militant]] [[state atheism]] of [[North Korea]], Christians are persecuted more than in any other states. The former dictator [[Kim Il Sung]] is often treated by the North Koreans like a [[god]]. They believe in the [[Juche]]-ideology. Every competing religion is forbidden. The Christians pray in the underground and if they are caught, they are imprisoned. This prison is comparable with the labor camps in [[Nazi Germany]] where the prisoners were treated like slaves. In 2009, a North Korean Christian woman was executed for distributing Bibles.<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/story/2009/07/24/report-north-korea-publicly-executes-christian-woman-for-distributing-bible/</ref>
