  simply by the fact that the majority of S. Koreans are
Buddhists, 
> at least nominally ...

The CIA World Fact Book puts the religious breakdown of South
Korea as
follows:

"Christian 26.3% (Protestant 19.7%, Roman Catholic 6.6%),
Buddhist 23.2%, other or unknown 1.3%, none 49.3% (1995 census)"

Not nit-picking. Just curious about your source.

===================================
Raising the question of how these stats were researched. Sample
sizes?
Proportion of rural to urban? use of local language/dialects for
the research? 
Stats borrowed from S. Korean governement census data?
