As a whole, do Filipinos and Indonesians pass better in Korea or Bangladesh?

Yup,we been here for a while too.South Moluccans like us Ambonese,West Papuans,Manado and Minahasans from Sulawesi,Bataks from Sumatra we are all mostly Protestant since Colonialism.East Nusa Tengarra Islands like Flores and Timor Leste is Catholic from Portuguese colonization.Christianity is actually the second biggest religion in Indonesia and growing since we also tend to have very big families.

How common and prevalent are Animism/indigenous traditional religions in Indonesia including Eastern regions?

Cordillera filipino are the most East Asian in Insular SE Asia. They have the lowest native admixture levels, infact Igorot are used to determine Austronesian ancestry like Taiwan Hanben. Cordeillera would pass more in East Asia than in Bangladesh. Non Javan Indonesians look darker but both Indos and Fillipinos are lighter than Bengalis

Yep I agree. A very significant percentage of Cordillerans/Igorots look very East Asian and can resemble Southern Chinese, Vietnamese and Tai Kadai groups in phenotypes.

Are Igorots even purer Austronesian than Taiwanese Aborigines? I heard the latter groups such as Ami, Atayal, Bunun etc have additional Northern East Asian or Han-like ancestry unlike Cordillerans?

Animism is more common in Central and Eastern Indonesia for sure.Remember for the most part alot of groups in Wallacea for example South Moluccans and East Timorese as well as West Papuans many were Animist before they became Christian or Muslim.Hinduism had little to no influence in Wallacea/Papua and Buddhism and Confucianism had zero presence historically.

Neither ngl they don't look like Bangladeshis or Koreans.

Bangladeshis don’t look like they have much if any mongoloid admixture in their features, but maybe Indonesians can pass better as Bangladeshi Muslims

It may not seem like it because of the skin tone but if you compare them to other populations who LACK the Mongoloid/Tibeto-Burman like Biharis Gujaratis Uttar Pradeshis Punjabis etc, it's obvious. It's mainly in the eye region, the eyes being not as buggy and a bit longer and narrower along with wider set cheekbones and smaller mouth/palates. Wider rounder jaws but that's from AASI/SAHG.

Bangladesh people are one of the darkest if not the darkest Asians in all of Asia. I have lots of Indonesian friends and all of them are either of Chinese origin or mixed with Chinese and although they aren't an exact match with Korea they are still much closer to Korea than Bangladesh, whose people are as dark as Indians.

Chinese-Indonesians are of Chinese stock/extraction, they're not native Indonesians so that's a different thing altogether.

Also skintone wise for Banglas that's not quite true. Most parts of India from Central India(UP Bihar etc) to down South are darker on average than native Bangladeshis. Punjabis/Himalayan people in India are obviously a bit lighter skinned than us and they're overrepresented hugely for the Indian diaspora is why it may seem different at times otherwise that's how it is.

Here's 100 of my mutuals btw https://imgur.com/a/PPofW8c

Usually for second generation diaspora Banglas who grow up abroad, this is definitely true from my research. In terms of pigmentation, we're a bit lighter than the aforementioned groups.

It's a combination of recent Tibeto-Burman admixture which is a significant chunk at like 15-20% of our ancestry and super recent along with the fact that there was probably AASI/SAHG diversity in the region.

Filipinos pass better in southern china.
Though many half korean half filipinos are indistinguishable from full koreans

Girl on far left in first pic and far right on 2nd pic is full filipina
The other girl with black hair is half filipina. And everyone else in the pic are korean or japanese
