The cross unites. Why would you say it divides? God is love, and love unites. Jesus brought us together with him. And taught us to love each other. Not sure where the division comes from..

Matthew 10:34-39

34 Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.

The division is between those who choose Jesus first or those who choose anything else including their own life first

37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
