The Abrahamic religions are zero-sum, so the existence of competitors poses an existential threat. Diversity is seen as an evil rather than a good.
With respect to some truth claims but certainly not all...elephants and blind men, etc. But there really is not all that much different between Roman Catholicism, Othodox, Methodists, and Quakers. Nowadays, most of it is bickering over earthly authority and dogma differences are taken with a grain of salt. That has not always been the case....but it has been a long time since somones been publicly burned at the stake.
