It's kind of it's own category. I mean, they're basically forced to worship the supreme leader, but I don't think that's a defining aspect

It's more a totalitarian state. Everything from what job you'll do for the rest of your life to how you cheer is given to you by the government.

It has the trappings of religion, but do people really believe that? The way they talk about it is like "the state tells us Kim was born in a flash of light on the top of a mountain", they don't engage with the talking points, they repeat them exactly

Fun fact, the supreme leader has so far always been dead, the title only having been given to Sung and Jong upon their deaths, yet the title is officially the leader of the party, state, and army.

Making it the world’s only Necrocracy (rule by the dead)
