Kumar, Northern Ireland is populated with irish who happen to be Catholic and Scots (now called Scots/Irish) who immigrated when the English were trying to repopulate Ireland based on some pretty genocidal policies. When Ireland won its independence the northern part was Gerrymandered to produce a Scots/Irish majority and remain in the UK. Its mostly a nationalistic conflict where the warring factions just happen to be different denominations. If it were purely religious in nature (as in the middle ages) people would be trying to convert each other (peacefully or by the sword). A more appropriate counter-example might be the Balkans... But even there it appears to have nationalistic roots. John
