Answer 2

Class and religion overlap with each other when conflict prevails upon people belonging to the same religion but different classes or economic status in society.

On taking the example of Northern Ireland where the population is divided into two major sects  of Christianity  is the roman Catholics and protestants.The Catholics have faced discrimination since age old times because of low economic status or class.The Protestants,on the other hand,are economically rich who look down upon the Catholics because of their poverty.This had created conflict between the Protestants and the Catholics.Hence,we can see in Northern Ireland class and religion overlap with each other.
