I would prefer to see non-religious/atheist solidarity :D
I nowadays view religion as a cultural thing, but in the future no-one is seriously going to believe in a god. Just my opinion. :coffee:

Religion is often simply a body of cultural tradition and custom that people robotically perform and any religious doctrines they might profess they're just, ahem, copypasta-ing: "I believe because cleric such-and-such wrote about this-and-that" or the usual "It's in the Bible so it has to be true." :lightbul:
I also think religion is mostly cultural with exceptions*, so thats the reason why there isnt solidarity because christians are from different cultural backgrounds
*for some its spiritual and they might feel spirituall/religious "kinship" with other christians from other cultural backgrounds solely based on the same faith, so they might show themselfes solidaric.... but this is a minority of people, doesnt work on large scale
That is indeed true, for example you can see cooperation between Islamic sects that might oppose each other in doctrine for example Sunni and Shia. It comes to the point that Islam has the concept of Ummah, and this can be seen from Tatarstan to the regions of Southern Russia and Middle East/North Africa and to Indonesia. Despite being from different regions, ethnic and cultural groups, they are united by the sense of one generalized culture that can be throughout these regions and this is due to their Islamic faith. Christianity never had this, as well it never imposed a generalized culture like that of Islam to the people who adopted it. Well a Chechen and Indonesian might feel linked to each other in the generalized terms, this can't be said about a Catholic German and a Catholic Filipino.
