Pyongyang was once called the Jerusalem of East Asia. Christianity played a crucial role in introducing egalitarianism to Korean society, at which time was a Confucian-based caste society with majority being slaves.

French Catholics and American Protestants, AFAIK. Not an expert on who spread it, but they were very devoted and became martyrs. Many of the independence activists against Japanese occupation were Catholics and Protestants.
Strange, I was surprised Filipinos had nothing to do with it despite the close geographical location.
how many % of Koreans are Christians?
That's good news, Do most of the Koreans see Christianity as good thing or a bad thing to society?

My family is Buddhist. I also consider myself a Buddhist, but ultimately, my personal belief is that "God" is the essence of human communities, something that is inherent and inalienable that bonds individuals together into a community. This belief is mostly based on my understanding of Durkheim's masterpiece, The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life.

I thought Buddhist revolves around reincarnation with no concept of a God creator.
I was surpised that there were Koreans Christians.
