Much earlier period in history before there was a United Kindom.

  Yes, a much earlier period that ended in the distant past of 1998. Sectarian violence is now limited to pubs and football matches rather than high explosive.

    That wasn't/isn't just about religion though, it's about foreign rule, colonialism and national identity as well. And about to kick off again thanks to Brexit, because it was never really solved, just pushed aside for long enough for people (particularly people in Westminster) to start to forget.

    There absolutely was internal instability, but if the claim is "Your company should not adopt a political worldview, you will at most be as economically successful as Britain between 1534 and 1998," that's... not much of a cautionary story at all.
