No. The reasons for the conflict that happened in Northern Ireland are quite complex and are not down to religion. Historical, political and social reasons are major elements. People on all sides got involved in terrorism, but the majority of people, be they Catholic, Protestant or other religions, did not get involved.

What is the source of conflict between Ireland and Northern Ireland?

There is no conflict between the north and the republic. Basically Ireland was under british rule and events in the years after the 1916 rising led to The British 'giving back' Ireland, ie creating a republic. Although, 6 counties in Ulster (out of 9) were kept under british rule, and are now Northern Ireland. Within northern Ireland there are nationalists, those who want the north to join the republic, and unionists, those who want to remain under british rule. Therefore the conflict is generally confined within the north..
