In all fields of knowledge there are broad areas of agreement and hotly contested areas of debate. That is true of biology, of archaeology, history, linguistics, economics,...the list is endless. For you to the single out religion merely demonstrates the shallowness of your thinking.
Except that only in religion do we see people with personal relationships with the perfect deity who knows everything, as well as a holy book with the very word of that deity telling people what they should be believing and doing.
