Is it a map for 1985?

Catholicism formed the backbone of Irish identity until the 1990s.

Are people still as religious? Is the new generation religious as well?

AND YOU COULD HAVE IT AAAAAAAALLL MY EMPIRE OF DIIIIIIRT

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt

No, the abuse scandals turned everybody anti-clerical and the country is quickly becoming irreligious (and bringing along a lot of contrarian left wing politics with it). People by and large say they are "culturally" Catholic for identity reasons though.

I really hate how he's memed, especially the "son of an immigrant" part because it's irrelevant and doesn't even represent anything "progressive" for the country.

>I really hate how he's memed, especially the "son of an immigrant" part because it's irrelevant
Well it's controversial and that gets views. I didn't know he was a haflie until recently.

>and doesn't even represent anything "progressive" for the country.
What are his policies?

who is that turk?

wtf int told me albania was full of burka wearing women

In Serbo-Croat countries religion is very tightly linked to national identity

isn't it funny how the majority of red ones are shitholes?

non-white people are more likely to be religious

It's the same centre-right policies for well-to-dos with occasional populism his party has always pursued.

>People by and large say they are "culturally" Catholic for identity reasons though.
Kek, that's like saying someone is culturally retarded, for identity reasons.

Greece is the most religious first world country

But it's true tho

>Greece
>First world

How are those unpaid denbts treating you, Hans?

irish are retarded
there is no reason for this useless nation to exist

Greece is a first world country you shitskin

What do Mongolians practice? Worshipping Genghis Khan?

Greece was a first world country for millenia, and continued to be so throughout the ages, while you Swedes were still living in straw huts.

Animism.

What's true? You're either a member of that cult or you aren't. You can't "culturally" believe in zombies and pretend to speak to supernatural gobbledygook. You either do, and are stupid as fuck, or you don't.

I would've thought they practiced some sort of Buddhism?

Jesus Christ you're insufferable. Cultural Religious Affiliation is a phenomenon throughout the world. Religious attendance is low throughout much of the world, but most people still mark themselves as adherents to a religion.

it just means you get your baby baptised, have confirmation, get married in a catholic church, and have a picture of Blessed Muire in your house

catholics are false christians
your women are ugly
your children will be ugly
ireland is a shithole

>caring about how people meme

no

>Israel
They don't even have churches

>opioid epidemic

Catholicism is great and important to Irish culture. Unfortunately people are becoming more secular which is obviously conducive to non-Irish immigration

One can only truly communicate with God while drunk.

Don't they have a gay prime minister now?

Catholicism is a cancer, and always will be while confession is a thing.

All religion ≠ Christianity.

it shows only the church attendance among christians

The biggest mistake was promoting Catholicism ahead of Gaelic culture. People became Anglo because they felt being Catholic was enough.

People became Anglo/Norman because they promoted a more comfortable standard of living with their towns ahead of the semi-nomadic Celts. The only the settlements that the Celts built were ecclesiastical and being a monk isn't the most comfortable life.

the virgin laicity vs. the Chad religiosity

This is a modern history phenomenon silly, as in 19th century.

Albania is probably in the bottom 10 or 20 countries worldwide when it comes to religiosity

Because you godless heathens shall not take from us our identity

NO. SURRENDER.

I only know a few religious people, they're mostly rural, only one from Dublin.

>You either do, and are stupid as fuck, or you don't.
>thinking the religion is literal

You're quite the fedora tipping retard t. Origenes.

Irish was spoken in most of the island until the mid/late 1800s...

>living is a country where religion is important

Why not drink bleach immediatly? If God wanted you to live he would safe you.

Thanks for the contribution to Christian theology, Muhammad! I'll be sure to pass along your interpretations!

The Anglicisation of Ireland was due to the replacement of the native aristocracy, British school system, and promotion of English by the Church (they wanted more English speaking missionaries and more mobility for the Catholic middle class). It has nothing to do with the development of towns.

I would love Ireland if they weren't religious brainlets.

>France
>calling anyone brainlets

kek we can't all have a JUPITERIAN PRESIDENT two smart four journalistas.

I'm talking about people adopting Norman surnames and traditions to live in their settlements

You're talking about something nobody else was talking about

It's relevant to the idea of Irish people being fickle regarding their Gaelic culture but not their religion

Is it? People are talking about anglicisation, which didn't happen for centuries after the Norman invasion. The vast majority of Irish people didn't become Normanised, the people in their areas would have predominantly spoke Irish.

>Singapoor
how many noble prize do they have ? how many fields medals do they have ? why your map is a meme ? why do you eat potatoes on a daily habit ?

I didn't expect Austria to be that religious.
