No.
Religion was not really involved.
The issue in Northern Ireland is political not religious. The media, who is always looking for short cuts and not the whole story, calls the participants Catholics and Protestants.
The conflict is about whether the British territory (probably the wrong word) of Northern Ireland should remain British or should become part of Ireland.
The majority of people in Ireland are Catholics. The majority of people in England and Northern Ireland are Protestants. There are actually Catholics and Protestants on either side.
The terrorists on either side of the issue are not Christian in any sense of the word.
With love in Christ.

Atheists would ultimately win as all the theists left would kill each other off and we will finally be able to build our societies based on logic and reason. Atheists will win, religions are imploding on themselves. The only one still going strong is Islam and it's cause they don't have ipods.

It was a war about domination; the possession of rich, arable lands; who got to have nice big houses and pots of money ~ and who didn't; and everybody's favourite ~ power.
Religion, as always, was simply the excuse used by the powerful to rope in the cannon-fodder classes!

There is nothing Christian about terrorism. Jesus taught us to love God above all, and to love all our neighbors as ourselves even if they mean us harm. Death is not to be feared if we can do that.

No, just Terrorism!
Revelation 17:17
For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule, until God's words are fulfilled.
