Because Presbyterians don't agree with Evangelicals and Mormans don't agree with either also. So they have to congregate within what they agree with as Christians...

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." Matthew 7:3-5
You have so many sects that their descriptions cannot all be listed here- LOL!!! Christian denominations are frequently different from each other by their 'housekeeping' rules, like how many elders a church should have, or whether communion should be taken every week or whether the pastor should teach through a whole book week after week or whether he should teach scriptures reflecting specific topics every week, or whether you only sing old hymns accompanied by an organ or sing contemporary Christian music with contemporary instruments. All believing Christians share belief in Jesus Christ for our Salvation.

( 53 ) But the people divided their religion among them into sects - each faction, in what it has, rejoicing.
( 54 ) So leave them in their confusion for a time.
( 55 ) Do they think that what We extend to them of wealth and children
( 56 ) Is [because] We hasten for them good things? Rather, they do not perceive.
Quran (23:53-56)

That is because there are many versions of the Bible and also because people interpret it differently.
Muslims have sects as well for different views on the Quran and Sunnah, but fewer than Christians.

Because original NT was changed frequently and there as so many contradictions.
On the basic issue of status of Christ son of Mary, there are three beliefs:
He is son of God
He is God Almighty
He is a human.
No wonder there are more than 41,000 denominations which all call themselves
Christian. Christianity has become a joke, because its clerics tried to glorify a
human at the cost of God Almighty.

Because the United States stopped letting one sect kill another sect for not worshiping the same exact way.
The moment you take away the ability of those currently in power to kill those who disagree with them, you take away their power to maintain their monopoly.
If the Islamic world is ever free, you'll see the same proliferation of sects, as every tin pot iman seeks to carve out his own flock of suckers to support his habits.

Because the disicples had their own beliefes in the systema and everything got scrambled around.
- Barney GoogleLv 78 years ago
Because everyone wants to choose their own Bible, literally translate and print their own version of the scriptures.
