Since 1955, the official religion of North Korea has been Juche. This is a political ideology created by the previous ruler (and Kim Jong-Il's father), Kim Il-sung. It emphasizes patriotism, economic self-sufficiency, and national self-defense. Instead of worship to a supreme being, the focus is upon venerating the leader of the nation. There are currently 55 million practicioners of Juche worldwide, 23 million of which live in North Korea.
