Divides people? If ALL people were Christian (and knew what that meant), we would have a BROTHERHOOD OF MAN, all for one, and one for all! What divides people is (unyielding) people. It's not what Jesus taught (division).

Hahaha... remind me again, how many different sects of christianity are there again? Even if everyone was Christian, you would have people disagreeing and fighting wars over what was the proper way to be Christian... protestant vs. catholic anyone? What's going on in Iraq? the Sunnis and shites, sects of islam are fighting each other. They are all "muslim", yet definitly no brotherhood of man there.
There are inherent divisions among men, and it has nothing to do with religion. That is just window dressing for a bigger division of values. One man likes the value of peace, forgiveness, meekness, one man likes the value of crusading and judging and imposing. You can see these divisions in all religions, from christianity to islam, because they have nothing to do with the religions themselves and everything to do with the individual goodness or badness of a man, something which religion does nothing to change.
Even if we were all atheist we would have the same problems. There will never be a unity of man because it is not productive in the system of nature.
