Kind of ironic, since some think religion should be about bringing people together, but in such cases it absolutely keeps people divided. We're Baptists, they're Lutherans: lock them up! We're Catholic, they're Quakers: isolate them! Etc.
Yes, it does. But it also does the opposite. Some strains of Christianity and Buddhism, for example, have been massive supports for pacifism.
If we got rid of religious identity groups, others types would replace them. Human require group identities. I do think that we can be smarter about how we "group" up though, if we learn from history.
