Well, in Ireland, one is either a Catholic atheist or a Protestant atheist...

You're living in the past, JimC. Hardly anybody is Catholic or Protestant any more anywhere on the Irish isle.

Re: Vaccination: mandated and/or incentivised
An interesting article from the ABC on whether society will allow religious exemptions for vaccine mandates:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-25/ ... /100477830
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-25/ ... /100477830
I hope the last part by Dr Barker is correct. My view is that the religion you belong to should have no more influence on vaccine mandates than belonging to a knitting club...Since the recent round of stay-at-home orders were introduced in Sydney and Melbourne, religious messages and motifs have been popping up at loosely defined "anti lockdown" protests across Australia.
As one widely photographed sign at a Sydney demonstration in July declared: "The blood of Christ is my vaccine."
No major religion in Australia has expressly told its followers to forgo vaccination against COVID-19. In fact, many faith leaders have played a key role in combating vaccine misinformation in their communities.
But as the above sign — and others like it — indicate, that doesn't mean people aren't being guided by their beliefs when deciding to refuse the jab.
It's this grey area that Dr Renae Barker, an expert in law and religion at the University of Western Australia, said will make it difficult for the legal system to rule on whether policies that bar unvaccinated people from participating in certain activities — as already in place in Victoria, NSW and some industries — warrant a religious exemption provision.
And the question is already playing out internationally, particularly in the United States, where thousands of people have already sought exemptions from vaccine mandates on religious grounds.
"Do I think we need to have a conversation about [religious] exemptions? Possibly," Dr Barker said, "I don't think that conversation will go very far. I think politicians will very quickly say health, in this case, trumps freedom of religion."

Well, members of knitting clubs have a lot of experience with needles, so they should have more influence!

Yep - was quite impressed by the central cathedral in Dublin was now a tourist information centre and a cafe. Likely was part of a financial settlement.You're living in the past, JimC. Hardly anybody is Catholic or Protestant any more anywhere on the Irish isle.
Quebec is the same way ....it swung strongly away from the catholic cult and birthrate dropped from 7 ...highest in the first world to 1.2 ...one of the lowest.
Some anti-catholic areas are now missionary destinations for popie.
Tax them all.
