Sure, religions divide.
Christians read the Bible through the rose-colored glasses of brainwashing. Even the ones that do not think it is actually written by god (like the fundies) believe that great wisdom and revelation can be found in its pages. The fundies simply refuse to admit that contradictions exist, even when those contradictions are set side-by-side. They will claim that it is our lack of understanding that allows us to think that we are seeing contradictions. Pray more.
Every sect also preaches that it has the only REAL way to heaven. The current pope tries to soft-pedal this, but old pope benedict arnold, who bailed, said quite plainly that only Catholics would go to heaven. They're going, and it's not correct to question the billions that are going to fry in hell, because that's questioning god's plan.
It's very tribalistic. It's extremely uncaring of anyone who doesn't worship their god their way. Heck read Revelations. Jeebus comes back and slaughters the billions who won't pledge eternal fealty to him. This is the joyous VICTORY christians pray for daily! We're supposed to care for our neighbor, and Jesus chose a slimeball for his neighbor example, but that doesn't matter. Our neighbor slimeball is only our neighbor if our caring actions means he'll convert and start putting money in the collection plate. Yay for our team!
damn where's that puking emoji again . . .
