What are the religions of South Korea?

South Korea oozes with a distinctive culture. Different unique rituals that feel religious are seen frequently in the media. Major world religions such as Buddhism and Christianity also seem to have a vibrant presence in the country. However, statistics show that more than half of the population don’t associate themselves with any religion.
