Irreligion in North Korea is difficult to measure in the country as the country is officially designated as an atheist state.[1] The North Korean state persecutes those who stray from the official state-sponsored atheism and the personality cult promoted by the Juche idea.[2] North Koreans, by Western definitions, would be considered non-religious but Buddhist and Confucian traditions still play a part in North Korean life.[11]
