If you're just looking for countries that are atheist-friendly, Denmark, Norway, or Sweden are probably the top three. If you really want 'officially atheist' countries: Cambodia, China, Cuba, North Korea, or Vietnam.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Not really.

They claim to be atheist, but all they really did was replace an infallible god, with an infallible leader and state.

Kim Jon Un is treated like a god. A few years ago, when North Korea was undergoing famine, and western countries gave them food and supplies. That was publicized to the North Korean people as tributes and offerings being paid to Kim because of his god like status.

The god like treatment of Kim is very much a religion.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

What's going on here? Don't they usually give out passports based on the nationality of the person? You can't just get the passport of whichever country you want.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Look, getting Ahriman to DPRK is a good idea, don't get in the way.

And yes, I'm well aware of his status as a deity in their society, thanks.
