Talk:Republic of Ireland (Rebuilding Earth Map Game)/@comment-25718593-20141216012316

Thank you for the information.

I figured on a religiosity revival during the crisis years and a large growth (~10%) of the Catholics, but I did not know it was that low to start with any how. I thought ~70% rising to 80%, but now it's 40% who has risen by 10% to 50%.

So the Irish are like the English and are a bunch of agnostics and atheists, or don't believe in god despite going to church. Most Anglicans are de facto godless and morally slack- we all know what the clergy do to the parishioners wives (hint, hint).

The leading faiths in the UK according to one poll were Anglican (10%), Scots/N. Irish Presbyterian (~1%), Hindu (~1%) and Islam (~2.5%), plus a few Buddhists.

The protestants are from N. Ireland.

I know about the abortion, divorce and gay issues. The UK was ahead of Ireland on that one
