The wall of "Religion"

Okay, a couple months ago I had a good discussion with a friend of mine,
We were talking about the differences in Church's and how people can't relate to others because of religion.
It divides us as Christians way to much. I mean we are called to all be a part of the Body of Christ right? How come religions become such a big part of our lives?
The only thing I seek after is to follow God with all my heart, to seek and learn straight from the word of God. I believe God places Pastor's and Leaders in our lives to teach us, share with us and to us help us understand God and His word.
But we also need to do our part and really find out, what do we really believe in? are we putting our faith in man or God?
Think about it.. Thanks guys!
