What is the dominant religion in North Korea, and how does this faith differ from Christianity?

In the country of North Korea, only one god exists and that is no other than Kim II Sung. This religion is known as Juche. In North Korea no other religion is allowed to be practiced or else they are executed. The way that this religion is practiced is that the people hang pictures of Kim II Sung in their homes to show that he is a god. Also when they hang the pictures to show that they depend on him. Furthermore, the pictures must be hung on the best wall in the household to show respect towards Kim II Sung. An incident that happen towards a woman who was washing was that when she was picking up her clothes, she was reported to have had a christian bible with her and was then arrested. When she and her husband where arrested, they where shot to death in public. Lastly, North Korea fears that Christianity will become dominant over Juche. http://www.northkoreanchristians.com/religion-north-korea.html

In the country of North Korea there is no law that states they have the freedom of religion. Anyone whpatria tickets a different religion is killed in public. That is really harsh as a matter of fact. This religion of Juche differs from Christianity by the way that they believe in a ruler and not a god. Christianity was banned from North Korea because too many people had no respect for Kim II Sung. If you strongly believe in Juche, then North Korea is the place for you.
