Note: "Saint" patrick driving out all of the "Snakes" means that him and his goons scared off or killed everyone who wasnt Christian.

The "snakes" is allegorical.

From everything I've ever read on the topic, no, this is an internet age myth. The "snakes driven from the island" myth is dated hundreds of years before the real person Saint Patrick existed and was just later attributed to him.
