How can you belong to a religion?

Human psychology denotes that every mind has the potential to perceive things differently, so how do we know we're worshiping the same God? An example of this would be the different factions of Christians going around, some who love all creatures great and small and others who are anti-gay etc.

I went to church expecting to see like-minded people and all I got were a bunch of simple, ugly, fat old women.

That's merely one of the problems of Christianity. If you don't like something, don't agree with something, etc. just start/join another denomination.

The fools feel the need to be apart of something even though that have no regard for what it stands for.
