Ulster Protestantism
Ulster Protestantism refers to the Protestant Christian traditions primarily practiced by communities in Northern Ireland, historically linked to British and English settlers. It emphasizes theological principles such as scripture authority, individual faith, and often maintains a distinct cultural identity tied to loyalty to the UK. The movement has played a significant role in Northern Ireland's social and political history, particularly in the context of the conflict and division with Catholic communities. While diverse in denominations, Ulster Protestantism generally upholds values like free enterprise, patriotism, and a conservative outlook on social issues.
