[edit] Effect and history

Saying the majority of the Irish population is Catholic/believes in the existance of a god does not say a thing about the effect of religion in it. How strict are they? How does it show in the law (like in banning infant circumcision and abortions)? How tolerant are they? And another thing, I think the history of religion should be mentioned as well--the move from pagan beliefs to Catholicism, the first evidence of religion, the fights between the Catholic and the Protestants...
