According to the most recent estimates (1998), about 92% of the population is nominally Roman Catholic. However, Church officials report that only about half of these members are active practitioners. The next largest organization is the Church of Ireland, with a membership of about 3% of the population. About 0.4% of the population are Presbyterian, 0.1% are Methodist, and less than 0.1% are Jewish. There are small communities of Muslims and Jehovah's Witnesses. For ecclesiastical purposes, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland (UK) constitute a single entity. Both Roman Catholics and Episcopalian churches have administrative seats at Armagh in Northern Ireland. The Presbyterian Church has its headquarters in Belfast.

Most Irish immigrants in the 19th and early 20th centuries were Roman Catholic. This was primarily due to Ireland's historical ties to Catholicism and the influence of the Catholic Church in Irish society.

Why did Irish immigrants want slavery?

Most Irish people did not want slavery. The Irish culture teaches a respect for all human beings. Some Irish immigrants fought for the south with the agreement that their entire family could become citizens if one man of the family joined the Confederate Army. (New York and Baltimore did the same to attract Irish immigrants and fill draft quotas). Some Irish immigrants (like some of many other cultures) were attracted to the slave-keeper mentality because of profit motivations or because they wanted to dominate others the way that England had dominated Ireland for centuries. But keep in mind that most Irish immigrants (and most immigrants from other poor lands) did not want slavery.
