The problem with Christianity isn't the religion itself, but the fact that its members are all human.
Originally, there was one Church, what we now know as the Catholic Church. However, during the 1500s, the priests of the time were corrupt (as mankind tends to be) and were charging people money in order to forgive them of their sins (as it was, nobody needed a priest to forgive them, but the people didn't know because they didn't have bibles).
And so, in 1517, Martin Luther published Ninety-Five Thesis, critiquing the Church, and soon the Church was divided between Protestant and Catholics. All the other denominations you see out there come from Protestantism.
None is better than the other. While I feel that the Protestant reformation was necessary, that does not mean that modern Catholics are necessarily bad. There are corrupt people in all churches. Meanwhile, the Christian community is supposed to be acting as one body, so any hostility you see between denominations is, by Christian standards, wrong.
Our heritage I believe is truly reflected in the things we say and do. For example, in Canada we have a strong pioneering spirit so that means that Canadians generally are not afraid to face the wilderness. For example, our geologists regularly go to work in say the Far North and brave the cold and the isolation to carry out their explorations.
