You think that "remembering of God" is more important than hatred of Islam?

I think that people can remember G-d in different churches.
Where I live, there is freedom of religion.

Christians and Muslims do not have to hate each other.
They should remember everything that they have in common.

This division started early on with trinitarians and arians..

It is likely..
..because it is turning away from Almighty God.
Moral values are changing, and church going decreasing.

The question is though, what is it about God we are turning away from? (I'm answering from a theist pov).

Jesus was asked what was the greatest commandment and he answered (essentially) "love God". He then followed up with the second greatest, "love your neighbor as yourself".

In the story, Rabbi Hillel was challenged to recite the Torah on one foot. He did so by saying "What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation of this—go and study it!"

If you had pointed to our civilization's turning away from the "golden rule" I would probably be agreeing with you, though I might not agree that returning to religion in general was a good thing.

I don't see anything about forcing women to cover up their bodies there.

Yes. Go and study it.
Religious knowledge is decreasing, and many people have lost their faith in the UK where I live.

Religion in the United Kingdom has changed significantly in recent years. Irreligion is prevalent, and British society is one of the most secularised in the world. Agnosticism, nontheism, atheism, secular humanism, and non-affiliation have been predominant views of Britons since the late 2010s

Christianity flourished for ~1000 years, and now we have become a post-Christian society.

Postchristianity is the situation in which Christianity is no longer the dominant civil religion of a society but has gradually assumed values, culture, and worldviews that are not necessarily Christian
