If they believe the conflict in Ireland had it genesis in religion then I agree with you, its a load of crap
It's not a load of crap, it's a fact that the roots of the conflict are the UK's opposition to the Vatican going back centuries. Would the IRA have ever existed is all Irish were Protestants? No.

This started 400 years before Henry was born. It began back in the 12th century when England invaded Ireland. The religious divide became evident in the 16th century but the conflict was centuries old by then.
