Religion was among the original factors in the conflict in Northern Ireland. However, the main factor was the fact that British settlers took over large areas of the Six Counties, dispossessing the native Irish inhabitants. The fact that the Irish were mostly Catholic and the invaders were Protestant probably did exacerbate the conflict, at least in the earlier years. In more modern times however, it simply served as yet another surface symbol of division. The British would in all likelihood not have been less hated by the Irish population if they had been Catholic, and vice versa.
Religion merely symbolises the traditionally Irish "Catholic" and predominantly British "Protestant". The conflict goes way deeper than religion!
We are currently studying the conflict in northen Ireland for my GCSE History Coursework. After looking into all my research, I think that religion is definitely not the cause of conflict in Ireland, although maybe the beginnning of it, but there are now many on each side who admit they are aitheists. I think Politics and control plays a much larger part in the conflict in Ireland. People just tend to look back to the past in Street History and bring up religion as it WAS such an important factor in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Factors like their Divided loyalties, Unequal allocation of housing, Unequal Employment Opportunities, Lack of voting Rights. These were some of the factors that started the conflict.
Although most of these factors boils down to religion. Land, Politics and the fact that they hated each other from the start played a good deal too.
