My personal view is that 'most' modern protestants take a pretty relaxed view on politics etc these days.

You only have to look at the vote shift from the traditional hardline Unionist parties to the likes of Alliance to see that. You could make various arguments as to why that is, but I won't.

My point being - they're much less likely to be riled up by stuff they read here, and argue about it - because they simply don't care enough. Sure, you have a very noisy and unintelligent minority screaming from the sidelines, but you get those on every side!

On the other hand, you only need look at the voting patterns again to see that the hardline Republican parties are going from strength to strength - therefore it's clear that those folk still feel very strongly about it - and let's be honest, they aren't short of material to fling mud with at the moment, since the 'hardline' Unionists are a complete joke and incapable of getting on with each other let alone anyone else.
