While South Korea doesn't have a state religion, the most prevalent affiliations are No Religion, Buddhism, and Christianity.
According to a 2023 Korea Research survey, the religious landscape breaks down as follows:
- No Religion: 61% of the population identify with no religion.
- Buddhism: 17% of the population identifies as Buddhist.
- Christianity: 20% of the population identifies as Christian. This is further divided into Protestantism (15%) and Catholicism (5%).
- Other Religions: 2% of the population identifies with other religions.
Therefore, "religion in Korea" is a diverse picture, with a significant portion of the population not identifying with any particular faith. The remaining population is largely split between Buddhism and Christianity.
