I've been told (and shown photos in my friend's personal collection) of how christianity has been destroying even ancient road-side shrines of the Korean religion. Nothing is too small or negligible for the Korean christos, they go out of their way to destroy, burn or otherwise vandalise all pertaining to the native religions of Korea. Buddhism is more organised there, which would explain the well-documented site Buddhapadia (post 234).
But people of the ancient Korean Religion also have had to contend with regular slurs against their beliefs: christolying about the meaning of various Gods/Spirits, rituals, beliefs.

Animism is an insult when hurled from the christoislamic side, but when one looks at all the religions categorised as such, you find out how they have such good things to recommend them. 'Animism' in this way gets a meaning that far outgrows its narrow christoterrorist definition and becomes rather complimentary. Will try to take it as a compliment when next I read some accusation of Hinduism being an Animist religion - after all, there's such good company to be found in this category.
