Under the militant state atheism of North Korea, Christians are persecuted more than in any other states. The former dictator Kim Il Sung is often treat 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 will be caught, they must move to a prison. This prison is comparable with the labor camps in Nazi Germany. The prisoner were treated like slaves. In the year 2009 a Christian woman was executed for distributing Bibles.[1]
