True. But people in England were affected as well, but that had nothing to do with their religion. However there were bombings in the Republic of Ireland and plenty of violence too. yes about 90% of deaths occured in the North but that didn't mean that the whole country didn't feel what was going on. When you have a centuries old divide in the North based on a communal identification based on religion this bled through out the country - especially as the south was about 75% Catholic.
This is all beside the point. The UK is steeped in religion, it may not come across like some other countries but it's there. I think what i'm saying, is it too much of a Leap of Faith to believe that some one like Seamus, who comes from either the North or the South, would not have come in contact with religion through his father, grandparents etc. I don't think it is. I'm not saying that every person is deeply religious or wears their beliefs on their sleeve. I, like Wook, am just saying that it's not only believable but highly pluasible.
