It should all just be one united faith in the one God through Christ. All these different infighting factions just serve to weaken the faith as a whole certainly in this day and age when it's up against some hard competition from other religions like Islam and what you could call secular fundamentalism.
The irony of your statement here about sects and divisions and "other religions" contrasting with your beliefs about the "one true god through christ" is rather hilarious.
No, seriously, just think about what you just said. Think quite hard about it. You might actually begin to understand at least one of the most major reasons why so many theists become atheists.

Of course a lot of believers don't really follow through on these teachings and use their religion as an excuse to further their own ends, Jesus himself predicted that would happen. Atheists generally make the best converts for the flock once they come to know the reality of a loving God. Though anyone who has been 100% secularized you may as well try and interest them in fairies than Jesus so they're well beyond reach. Though there aren't that many atheists like that on here from what I can tell.
I like your analogies about fairies and Jesus...
It fits so very nicely.
How many bullet holes does your foot have by now?
