Divine religions believe that man and a divine god communicate, literally speak to, someone that created them. A non-devine religion is one that does not believe in the ability of humans to talk to someone who created them. Part of the difference is the between someONE and somethingTHING. A Unitarian Universalist is someone who does not believe in the divine, but that the universe itself with its natural laws is the ultimate someTHING and that humans cannot have a conversation with this someTHING. Protestants, Mormons, Catholics, Muslims, Buddhists, etc. see themselves as separate from god. There is some mysticism in the devine belief. For example, "I am alpha and omega, the beginning and the end," or "We are all brothers and sisters in god," confuses the separation.
Personally, I have tried all my life to talk to god, but it has been a one-way conversation. I really distrust any other human who says he or she can talk to God. I would really like to see that happen.
