What makes political parties and religions split?

difference of opinion….....
how to do communion splits churches.

Well, by definition conservatives aren’t looking for new ways of doing things. They cling to existing or prior models. Progressives are more willing to explore new paradigms and depart from tradition.

I disagree that there are more liberal parties. There are just as many conservatives nuts as there are liberal ones.

There are six major conservative parties in Israel as opposed the three major liberal parties.

If the liberals are the ones splitting, it is probably because of a difference of opinion on where the “line” is. Where is the intersection of human morality and liberty. (Or in the case of religion, Grace or sin.)

Differences in opinion and interpretation

Opinions, preferences, ideals, traditions, methods of operation, wishes for change, wishes to hold on to the past. These can be small things or large. If a number of people disagree on the way things are going, they may split and form their own group. As they say, it’s a free country.

All parties have different opinions on loads of things why do some policies result in splits and other not? Psychologically what makes people feel like they are different enough to create a different group?
