North Korea - the only atheist state still operating

According to the CIA World Fact book North Korea, which appears to
be one of the last atheist/communist governments left, has virtually
exterminated genuine religious practices, leaving only state run and
controlled Front organizations.


"Religions: traditionally Buddhist and Confucianist, some
Christian and syncretic Chondogyo (Religion of the Heavenly Way)


note: autonomous religious activities now almost nonexistent;
government-sponsored religious groups exist to provide illusion of
religious freedom "
