We aren't killing each other because we both believe in individualism. "You go your way and I'll go mine". It isn't any of my business what you think as long as it doesn't interfere with me. This is an idea invented rather recently by especially cultivated Brits.
Look at the Uighurs and the Rohingya. That's what happens when a group exists outside some political consensus in the absence of individualism. History is chock full of wars and genocides that are incomprehensible to us because we believe in individualism and those people didn't.
Why would the Catholic Church give a shit about the Cathars? It makes no sense to us, but they did, enough to kill as many Cathars as they could find.
