    North Korea is basically the only one I could find.

    And they execute religious followers… Among other things.

      china restricts evagelization and missionaries, but doesn’t outright ban religion.

        China doesn’t ban organised religion. It even has a state church. China is paranoid in general, and an effect of that is they just like to keep religious followers where they can see them. In a way, literally, churches there are kind of like a compound (not a security compound) where they hold meetings and worship and house missionaries and stuff.

        It doesn’t ban evangelisation or missionaries per say, but mainly foreigners. Part of this is a concern with foreign interference (which to be fair, the USAID was recently exposed for sending money to Christian organisations abroad so the American megachurches can gain influence there.)

        It’s not ideal for Christians, but it’s nowhere near what @SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world was suggesting as “banning organised religion”.

        If anything, China can be seen as preferring organised religion to unorganised religion
