“…There is no agreement about what these differences are, their relative importance, or their relationship to one another. Some put the emphasis on religion (Brewer & Higgins, 1998;Elliott, 2009;Fulton, 1991;Ganiel, 2008;Hickey, 1984;Mitchell, 2006), others on ethnicity or nationality (McGarry & O'Leary, 1995;Wright, 1987Wright, , 1996, still others on coloniality (Clayton, 1996;MacDonald, 1986;O'Leary, 2019), on the ethno-religious (Bruce, 1994) or on the colonial-religious (Akenson, 1992), and some just on the political (Bourke, 2011;McGrattan, 2010;Prince, 2018). I stress the importance of each strand, though for reasons that will become clear, give particular attention to the religious one.…”
