The reason you didn’t see temples in Seoul is because they are usually near the outskirts of Seoul where the mountains are. Temples are usually built in the mountains. So you have to hike to see them. Even in Namsan there are lots of temples but like in the hidden trails. There is a beautiful temple is Seoul which is called Gilsangsa, hope you have a chance to visit there. And, surprisingly the buddist has the largest in numbers about 40 percent and only about 20 percent are christian in Korea. 10 percent are Catholic and the rest are atheist. There are just too many churches in the city hence, its just seems like they have more believers and temples are hidden in the mountains.
In the past, there were many big temples in the center of a city like Seoul. However, many temples disappeared due to the war with Mongolia in the Goryeo Dynasty and the Buddhist oppression of scholars in the Joseon Dynasty, the Imjin War, and the Korean War.
Yeah compare to other asia country, Korea is more christianier(?) than others..😂 I dont know why..so I was surprised to see so many temples when I visit Taiwan. The fact that the religion is into their life surprised me also. You have clearly catched the diffrences because you know well about Asia:) so cool! Have a nice day Kayla!
Hahah yea more Christian! That’s so cool you went to Taiwan I hope you have a wonderful time! I love you can see temples everywhere in Taiwan, they’re so gorgeous. I used to live in the city of Kaohsiung on a normal city street but right next door was a big temple and my clothes would smell like the smoke from the temple when drying them 😂😂 you have a nice day as well 🥹
종교에는 국적이 없다. 불교, 유교도 한국의 종교가 아니다. 기독교가 많은 것을 한국적이지 않는 것이라고 생각한다면 틀린 생각이다. 다 똑 같다. 한국만의 독자적인 종교는 없다. 한국에 기독교가 많은 이유는 독립 운동과도 연관이 있습니다. 민주주의로서 대한민국 건국과도 연관이 있다. 아무튼 한국은 세계에서 가장 종교가 자유로운 나라이다.
아마도 한국의 근대화에 가장 영향을 많이 미쳤던 종교가 기독교가 아닌가 합니다 대부분의 근대교육 기관과 병원이 서양의 기독교 선교사에 의하여 많들어 졌고 전쟁구호와 밀접한 관계가 있었습니다 그리고 근대화 과정에서 서양의 모든것은 절대적으로 모방해야할 선망의 대상이 아니였나 싶네요
Christian missionaries were very aggressive post Korean War. Oftentimes, dangling food and money to a nation devastated by war. Naturally, many converted and became ardent zealous Christians. Oftentimes in present day South Korea, Korean Christians would vandalize temples.

along with Gilsangsa, Dosunsa, Hoapsa and Daesungsa are amazing temples in Seoul.

Wish you a nice start to the day

대부분의 근대교육 기관과 병원이 서양의 기독교
선교사에 의하여 많들어 졌고
전쟁구호와 밀접한 관계가 있었습니다
그리고 근대화 과정에서 서양의 모든것은
절대적으로 모방해야할 선망의 대상이 아니였나 싶네요
