The only authorised religion in Europe during the Middle Ages were Christianity and Judaism. To have followed any other religion would have risked torture and being burnt at the stake, or the wheel, a gruesome replacement for crucifixion.
Christianity certainly did not unite the people of Europe during the Middle Ages. They were bitterly divided by Gnosticism versus the Orthodox-Catholic faith, the monophysite controvery, Arianism, Catharism, the Great Schism, the Western Schism and finally the Protestant Reformation. There seems to have been no time when Christianity was not divided, with the temporarily dominant branch persecuting the less powerful Christians.
During the First Crusade, supposedly against the Muslims in Palestine, resulted in an attack on the Hungarian city of Semlin and the burning of Belgrade. The eastern Christian capital city of Constantinople was sacked by the crusaders of the Fourth Crusade.

Christianity became a unifying religion. But the Christians created their own divisions, for example between East and West, and between the orthodox and the heretical sects.
