Confict between Northern Ireland and UK?
There is no conflict between Northern Ireland and the UK. Northern Ireland is part of the UK.

Why are there two sides in Northern Ireland?
That is a question that could have a long and detailed answer, relating to Irish history. Putting it briefly, before Irish independence from Britain, the majority of people in what is now known as Northern Ireland did not want to become independent while a significant minority did. Those two positions remain, so you have two sides in Northern Ireland. The unionists and loyalists want to be have a union with Britain and the nationalists and republicans want a totally united Ireland. The unionists and loyalists still form the majority of people in Northern Ireland.
When does northern Ireland vote to become part of Ireland instead of the UK?
A referendum on Irish unity will be held, when it is believed that the majority of people in Northern Ireland want such a referendum to be held (i.e. when Sinn Fein and other nationalists take the majority of seats in the Northern Ireland Assembly). Talks will then be held with the British and Irish governments on holding a referendum and legislation will be introduced to allow a referendum to take place. Once that legislation has been passed the public will then vote on the legislated date on the constitutional future of Northern Ireland. At present unionists hold the majority of seats in the Northern Ireland Assembly. And recent public opinion polls have suggested that the majority of the Northern Ireland's (normally nationalist voting) catholic community want Northern Ireland to remain within the United Kingdom. So it is highly unlikely there will be any vote on Northern Ireland becoming part of Ireland for many years.

The majority of the people living on the island of Ireland are catholic. However there are two countries sharing the island, the Republic of Ireland (which is catholic) and Northern Ireland (part of the United Kingdom) which has a majority of protestants (although there are still many catholic people in the north). Finally although the island is mainly catholic, recent falls in church attendance and the scandals attached to the Catholic priesthood (relating to child abuse) means that many people no longer practice religion - the question is becoming irrelevant.
