It sounds like religion legitimately has helped splitthis, whether you believe in God or not. That is often overlooked by atheists and those who hate religion.
Even if you think all religions are a bunch of bullshit, they definitely provide a social and moral framework which provide structure and expectations for society, and definitely have a hand in preventing things from plunging into chaos.
This is true on all scales, large and small. There are many people who turned their lives around from criminal behavior or substance abuse via finding religion.
The problem comes from religions which force their views upon others, or attempt to punish others for not believing. But you can't blame religion itself for that.
It's also important to consider that we have seen a recent rise in religious-like adherence to woke politics, and often these are the people who lack any religion in their lives, and fill that void without even realizing what they're doing. In fact, the woke crowd treats non-believers -- or even partial non-believers -- the same way religious extremists do. It's all different sides of the same coin.
I agree with almost all of this.
Regarding your last paragraph, here is a great piece explaining some of the frightening parallels between the fundamentalist right and the woke-SJW type groups.

Religion hasnt cured her from being an objectively an racist, awful person and has been an abject disastrous system for humanity throughout the millennia. Just ask the Jews.
Adults clinging to the notion of a freeroll to paradise via sky wizard worship should only be mocked for its sheer absurdity.
With the atheist cult the industrial revolution is original sin, fascism their religion, and climate catastrophe their rapture.
