Yall didn't start "agreeing" with each other until living memory, as a part of a political paradigm meant to stop the bleeding of authority. The various sectarian groups finally realized, after 300 years or so of infighting...that it was causing people to lose confidence in their ability to make normative proclamations at a broad social level, that it had a negative effect on their relevance, and perhaps more importantly..that it cost them members and thus resources. Better late than never, I guess.
I would disagree with your narrative, but in either case, I think the important question in any claim, is what are the basing this on. What is the reason? When did it come about, and why? Before I came here, I was kicked out of a Christian forum, so I am not denying, that there are disagreements or fringe (heterodox) groups. Some even where a church of one. But the majority is not what is being portrayed here either.
