Many people feel threatened by the presence of people from other races and religions growing in numbers in their own country.

There examples like England, Germany and France.

What are your suggestions for creating a sense of unity and removing problems of race, religion and gender splits?

Your question is irrelevant (at least in a UK context), in that it has no bearing on current reality. Let me explain why this is.

1. The whole subject matter is antiquated.
a) The first (post-WW2) new Commonwealth immigrants arrived in the UK nearly 60 years ago (Empire Windrush 1948).

b) The first reactive anti-immigrant riots took place almost 50 years ago (Nottingham and Notting Hill 1958).

2. Specifically, many people do not feel threatened. That was before (examples: Smethwick election campaign 1964, Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood speech 1968, Robert Relf's house for sale 1976).

3. The emphasis nowadays is on diversity, and accepting and welcoming differences - just look at all the multicultural festivals in the UK.
4. Most people get along just fine, there are only two sources of racial disharmony in the UK these days:
a) the Government's (pro-US) Middle East policy
b) machinations of a small racist party (the BNP).
These are the areas that need to be addressed.
