That I do agree with. However I would say that if the world was going to end with 1 bomb it will Either be from a Religious terrorist group or Religiously controlled government as I don't see a sector government having Nuclear weapons (or the intestion to) Note: North Korea is not secular is at communist dictatorship.
It's difficult to say with any certainty.
North Korea is, believe it or not, officially an atheist state. If they were to use atomic/nuclear weapons then it would be for political reasons and not religious. China is predominantly Buddhist and Taoist, both pacifist religions, so again it's likely to be politically (or perhaps financially) motivated.
The only country ever to use atomic weapons in war was the USA, no one else has ever used them against other human beings. If you want my pick for country most likely to use atomic/nuclear weapons then I’d pick the USA, and probably for political or financial reasons justified through religious morality.
