Have the religions united this mankind or have divided this mankind and now this mankind shall remain divided and would never unite?

If we go deep, these religions have divided this mankind and most of the wars update had been on religious grounds and the division of this mankind is on religious basis and even love and marriages are prohibitted accross religions.

    All religions are intolerant. There are only two kinds of religion---truth and lies. Truth unites and divides. Lies just destroy.

    Religion is a man-made construct, a ritualised form of worship. And you are right - religion has divided mankind and many wars have been fought in the name of religion. Yet this is not what our creator God desires.

    True religion is neither rules-based nor ritual-based. True religion is a relationship with God. Two things that all religions hold are that humanity is somehow separated from God and needs to be reconciled to Him. False religion seeks to solve this problem by observing rules and rituals. True religion solves the problem by recognizing that only God could rectify the separation, and that He has done so. True religion recognizes the following:

    1. We have all sinned and are therefore separated from God (Romans 3:23).

    2. If not rectified, the just penalty for sin is death and eternal separation from God after death (Romans 6:23).

    3. God came to us in the Person of Jesus Christ and died in our place, taking the punishment that we deserve, and rose from the dead to demonstrate that His death was a sufficient sacrifice (Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

    4. If we receive Jesus as the Savior, trusting His death as the full payment for our sins, we are forgiven, saved, redeemed, reconciled, and justified with God (John 3:16; Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-9).

    God longs for us to find Him and be reunited with Him. We can't do that through religion. We can only do that when we earnestly seek Him, repent from our sins and turn to Him. We need to dump religion and find God.

    Most of the violence in the middle east, is muslims killing other muslims.

    Divided. There will never be unity for as long as religion exists (and perhaps not even then).

    Even if all religion was proved beyond doubt to be BS, there would still be religion. Many believers would point-blank refuse to accept it.
