Religion?
Spit!!!

It was never a religious war for us...

If the working class had have been encouraged to stick together from the word 'Go', religion would have been as much of an issue among us, as it would have been in any comparable 'Christian' society.

The religion card was more heavily played on the Protestant people, however, and just as fear triggers many frames of thought in this day and age, the 'Protestant People of Ulster' were brought up to fear us.
We, on the other hand, were brought up mostly just to be fairly suspicious of them.

Even now, as the PPoU complain about being 'left out in the cold' (whatever that is supossed to mean...), they cite the same reasons as the Nationalist Community have always done as to why they feel as if their rights are getting walked on.

As soon as the PPoU drop the first 'P' in their whatdyacallit, the sooner they will realise that it never was a cause worth killing for in the first place... (They never did much dying for it, in fairness....)
