In the five years I have lived here no one has ever asked me what my religion is, and when I have volunteered the information that I am not a catholic it has never caused a problem. I have never come across any prejudice either in my personal or business life and as a non Catholic or a Brit and if the Irish have reason to be prejudiced against anyone it is us Brits but they do not.

Okayyyy…

The very fact that you had to ask this question is mind boggling to me. It’s a non issue, no one cares.

Or the founder of Irish Republicanism, Theobald Wolfe Tone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theobald_Wolfe_Tone who was also a protestant.

Theobald Wolfe Tone in his own words "To subvert the tyranny of our execrable government, to break the connection with England, the never failing source of all our political evils, and to assert the independence of my country–these were my objects. To unite the whole people of Ireland, to abolish the memory of all past dissentions, and to substitute the common name of Irishman, in the place of the denominations of Protestant, Catholic, and Dissenter–these were my means."

Hell there’s even a song about protestants who fought for Irish independence. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmPbC1rYYOA

Northern Ireland is slightly different - ‘Catholic’ and ‘Protestant’ are pigeonholes that the people of Northern Ireland are forced to categorise themselves into - even though most of us are not religious.

Generally most people couldn’t care less what ’side of the community’ you come from - and anyway, as the guys have said above, no one will even know unless you tell them.

One point would be, that I would advise you not to try to ’spread the word of God’ to anyone over here. But I guess that would be the same as in any country - you wouldn’t be in any danger from doing so - but people just simply do not want to hear it.

We all did Religious Education in school, so we all know the ‘Good News’ - so if any of us are not practising it, it is because we choose not to.
