Even just within Christianity, in the modern world, there are radical differences in the core ideas between sects. Across all religions, throughout history, the differences dwarf that.
It's not (see above), but if it were: the details count toward this as well. Just saying "meh, ignore the details" is cheating to get the answer you want.
How many religious people have you actually met, friend? I have known some whose views roughly fit that description, but most do not. In fact, I'd suggest that you could describe science that way. Religious people start with the belief, the box they want to put the universe in, and then insist that it must be, and attempt to adjust the facts to match their views - this is the farthest thing from humbleness before the mystery of the universe. Science tells us to put our preconceptions and expectations aside, and observe how the universe really functions - if we see facts that don't match our current understanding, we adjust our understanding.
