the problems of religious mono-culture. protestantism was supposed to solve that but I suppose Ireland has some issues with that due to their history with England.

protestantism resulted in baptists and hardline evangelicals so i think we can safely say it was a failed experiment, see everyone back at Mass

what it allowed for was communities to have more than one church and people could choose between them. go figure that a lot of people are fucking assholes who make shitty choices.

very interesting. not at all surprising. wars of religion between Protestants and Catholics, or between Sunni and Shia, are the first examples of down-side that came to my mind but I'm not surprised it plays out on a smaller scale too.
