Religion, or at least religious labels, are hard to avoid in Northern Ireland.

Even domestically, labels such as ‘Protestant’ and ‘Catholic’ remain the most commonly used shorthand in describing different social groups and even specific political positions. The impression lingers that conflict in Northern Ireland is between two groups divided by religious confession or tradition.
