Bible, Koran Geetha etc. are religious books. They teach peace and guide the people to live peacefully in this world. But in reality it is not so. The people of the same religion react differently to a situation. Why?

Tom Lehrer (PBUH) said that "Life is like a sewer- what you get out of it depends on what you put into it."
Religion's the same. A kind, decent, caring person is going to turn to any religion and draw from it messages of peace and love. A hateful, bitter person will find in any religion a vengeful, wrathful god. A woman with a lot of enemies will find in any religion the message that the powers that be will smite those enemies and that god, too, hates the people she hates. Someone with no enemies will find a tolerant, forgiving god in any faith.
Take away faith in religion and lo and behold we atheists are the same.

Just because people are of the same religion they still have their own personalities. Different people have different strengths and weaknesses. The same as anyone else. The people of the same religions try to live as they have been taught but lets face it, no one out there is exempt from being human. The human race as a whole imperfect and will always be.

Well, speaking for the Bible at least there are two reasons I have noticed. One, if they say they follow it, but really don't. and Two, listen to only part of it, and ignore the context and the other verses that go along with it.
Half truths are more dangerous than all out lies.

it's out dated far too verbose and contradicts itself . it's sometimes more difficult to improve life when you are living detached from reality

These books are so ambiguous, you can twist to make them fit they way you want.

Because god created us all different with our own identity

because people don't always do what their religious book, that they supposedly believe in, tell them to do.

Um, they don't all teach peace. I don't think you've read all of them.
