Yep, I can't believe you described religious adherence in Ireland as negligible. Perhaps not as strong as it once was, but negligible? That strikes me as wishful thinking. Secondly, comparing Ireland to Saudi just doesn't work. There is extreme, and there is extreme. I know you think religion is a load of mumbo jumbo, and you're probably right. To think a country of hard core religious people are on the brink of forgetting all that, is unbelievable. Hopefully there will be change, and progress, but even the women who want more rights, are fir the most part, still devout, and will put their religion first.
