the animosity in Northern Ireland definitely stems more from culture and identity than faith.

OK.

JEDIT: Note that if you take into account the historical beginning of the conflict (Irish Confederate Wars and Williamite War In the 17th century) - I guess that it is what chyron summarizes by " the whole Catholic vs. Protestant divisiveness over there", there was undoubtedly an important religious dimension.
If you speak only about “the Troubles” (after 1960), then OK, this is a segregation problem based on ethnical and sectarian criteria more than a question of faith.

Protestant divisiveness over there is not actually about faith at all

Not OK

PS: thank you for making the difference between Ireland and Northern Ireland.
