I must be missing something here as the link does not say that, it refers to numbers of people claiming to have a religion or none at all. Adding to that many loyalists would describe themselves as Ulstermen/women but still want to be part of the UK. I don't believe that the majority in the six counties want to be part of a united Ireland, much as Gibraltarians want to be part of Spain.
I took this figure from the following info in the article
Two-fifths (40%) had a British only national identity, .
Oops! I should have used a calculator as 40% of this figure is 724,400......there are probably more recent figures but it was all tongue in cheek anyway Howard.
