Quote: North Korea really a shining example of "tolerant" atheists?
They are not atheists, their superstition is worship of the state, and to me that is no different than worship of a god. I'd like to see in the future, not that it is defined as such now, but "atheist" should simply mean rejection of any an all non empirical naked assertions. North Korea has it's own religion in their political party and their god is their head of state.
Christopher Hitchens in his speeches and in his books often equated God and heaven as "A celestial North Korea".
"Atheist" is a position. It says nothing about whether an individual will be empathetic or aggressive. It matters not to me that the totality of North Korea rejects standard myth or superstition, their cult of party and state is itself a superstition.
