You're taking on a big project there with respect to the various religions. While it may seem that Christianity is more fragmented than other religions that is not the case. Both the Muslims and the Hindu have diverse sects that interpret their religious documents in varied ways, this is also true in the differences between orthodoxies in the Jewish community. I can't speak with any intelligence about the Shinto or Taoist as these are religions I haven't studied yet. I believe the Buddhist are probably the ones with the least amount of fracturing in their practices worldwide.
You might want to pick a specific sect or form of interpretation to save your sanity *g*. Heaven knows all that scifi technical jargon is heavy stuff as well. Hope you do find someone who can help you.
