I'm sure this question gets asked repeatedly(one of those may have been me drunk posting and not remembering), but what are the differences between the different Christian denominations?
~Are they mostly trivial 'personal preferences', or are they fairly significant disagreements?
~What leads to new denominations 'branching off', and do these break-away flavors do so 'with the blessings of the other(s), or do they just say 'fuck it, I'm making my own church with blackjack&hookers'?
~Is there a particular reason why the new institutions don't start from a more 'fresh' approach instead of, for lack of a better word, 'rebranding' Christianity?
-Is that in an attempt to maintain some semblance of Unity among Christians holding some disagreements with each other?
-Is it because they believe their version is the 'correct' interpretation of Christianity?
-Is it just the path of least resistance where it seems easier than 'starting fresh'?
~What are/were the biggest schisms in Christianity, and just 'how big'/how long are/were they?

>Who cares
I mean, I care enough to make a thread asking.

Another question:
What is the oldest/original denomination, and how many, if any, 'updates' has it gone through since its beginning?

Also:
>I'd be interested in hearing the answers to the questions listed above if they apply to other religions as well.

You're better off just reading Wikipedia or asking ChatGPT, you're not going to get a well-informed or unbiased answer here.

The difference between christian denominations is about like the differences between hamburger resturants
