Yep, and the Daleks go around trying to exterminate  anyone that 
doesn't follow their own blinkered belief, just like the so-called 
Christians did in the Middle Ages. (Not that any of the other nonsense 
religions are any more forgiving either.)

It depends on how you define the groupings.

There are 7 or 12 major branches of "Christianity", but there are an 
estimated 45,000 (yes, forty-five thousand) 'Christian' beliefs around 
the world, each with their own difference slant on what is "true". 
There are around 200 different versions in the USA.

There are also seven different major branches of Islam, and again can 
be sub-dived to at least 73 different versions.

There are three or four major branches of Judaism, which can be 
sub-divided into about 27 different versions.

Of course Islam, Judaism and Christianity are themselves all just 
different branches of the same nonsense religious belief.
