=== Kim Jong-il and Kim Il-sung ===
[[North Korea]] practices [[state atheism]] and belief in [[God]] is actively discouraged.<ref> Elizabeth Raum. North Korea. Series: Countries Around the World. Heinemann, 2012. ISBN 1432961330. p. 28: «North Korea is an atheist state. This means that people do not pray in public or attend places of worship. Buddhist temples exist from earlier times. They are now preserved as historic buildings, but they are not used for worship. A few Christian churches exist, but few people attend services. North Koreans do not celebrate religious holidays.»</ref>
[[Kim Jong-il]] and [[Kim Il-sung]] are examples of North Korean atheist dictators who have promulgated cults of personalities around themselves.<ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/northkorea/8292930/Analysis-North-Koreas-bizarre-personality-cult-and-why-it-has-worked-so-far.html Analysis: North Korea's bizarre personality cult and why it has worked – so far]</ref>
