It doesnt
Ya I Guess So.
It was due to differences in beliefs of religion. Protestant vs Catholic
Patrick was sent to Ireland to missionize and spread Christianity. Until his arrivial the Irish followed pagan beliefs.
To defend their views and beliefs by enforceing volience. It works more less the same way as the mafia do.
No Catholic saint was ever a goddess despite the beliefs of a small minority of unbelievers. They try to associate truly holy people with pagan beliefs. Brigit of Ireland was a Catholic nun and not a goddess.
That could be quite a indepth question to answer, but in the most simple terms, nationalists want to be ruled by Ireland and unionists by Britain.
The Republic of Ireland (Ireland) broke away from the U.K because of Catholic beliefs. U.K. is Protestant and so is Northern Ireland. Long story short, England wanted to take over Ireland so that they would have more land,but the Irish rebelled and started a war(I think you could call it that.) .Some people were for it, some people weren't.the north of Ireland was then ruled under British law. People are still unhappy about this,and are still divided because of this. I hope this helps :)
Ireland is famously associated with the legend of St. Patrick banishing snakes from the island. However, there is no evidence that snakes ever inhabited Ireland after the last Ice Age. The story is often interpreted metaphorically, symbolizing the eradication of pagan beliefs rather than the literal removal of reptiles.
Taoism, as a spiritual and philosophical tradition, is not specifically tied to the Republic of Ireland in the same way it is in its origins in China. However, there are Taoist practitioners and organizations within Ireland that promote Taoist philosophy and practices. The interest in Taoism can be seen in the broader context of spiritual exploration and alternative philosophies embraced by some individuals in Ireland. Overall, Taoism in Ireland is part of a diverse tapestry of spiritual beliefs rather than a dominant tradition.
Saint Patrick is known for bringing Christianity to Ireland and is celebrated as the patron saint of the country. He is also credited with driving out snakes from Ireland, a symbolic act representing the eradication of pagan beliefs. His feast day, March 17th, is celebrated as St. Patrick's Day.
David Feherty is known to be an atheist and has been open about his lack of religious beliefs.
