Cult of personality
North Korea’s primary religion is prayer to their leaders, in contrast to many Western nations where Christianity is the predominant religion or even Far Eastern countries where Buddhism, Shintoism, and Hinduism are practiced! They have a man named Kim Il Sung, who is “105 years old,” as their leader.
These people are all bowing down to these sculptures because the Kims have created a cult of personality around their family; they are treated like gods!
