[edit] Dubious statements in Background section

  • "Ireland has a long history of religiosity and religious conflict between its mainly Protestant and Roman Catholic communities". This makes the whole island sound like Northern Ireland!
  • "As a result, the Republic of Ireland today is one of the most religious countries in Europe" - a complete non sequitur.
  • "Against this background it is extremely difficult for the growing numbers of Irish atheists and agnostics (up 59% since 2002) to identify each other, or to achieve any kind of public recognition" - no source given for the percentage rise. Autarch (talk) 18:29, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
