Honestly, my first point is that Northern Ireland has to be related to Ireland. They shared so much history that I refuse to believe anything else, and at various points in time, there have been points when Ireland has been considered a singular entity.

My next point is that... well, England as we know him was almost certainly pagan for a very, very long period of time. When the Anglo-Saxons arrived, they may have been Pagan, but this Paganism would not have lasted for long in the strong Roman-Christian Britain.

The date for conversion for the British was around the 6th century, though it has been recorded as early as the 2nd. Especially as the arrival date for many Anglo-Saxons was around the 9th century, and conversion for Scandanavia happened between 900-1100, I would therefore say it is highly improbable that England is well... The England that's been there all along.
