More familiar terms for the two communities are 'Unionist', 'Nationalist', 'Republican' and 'Loyalist' as used by the BBC . In fact, an awful lot of the 'reaching across the divide' thing is being done by actual Xians:Well Vicki do you have evidence of atheists propagating violence in NI?

Whilst I would certainly agree that the divide in NI as as much political as it is religious, the political terms you mention above can only be used to describe one religious community or the other.
I agree however that a lot is being done by inter-community groups to help foster greater unity and less partition. However, it must also be said that an equal number of groups are doing just as much to undermine that.
