Man was born free. All collectives of humans evolved long long after the first men. It was Man that created religion, caste, community, society, nation. Unfortunately, the creator is now captive to the very structures it brought into being because some people discovered the utility of these structures and gained control over them and now reign over the lives of silent, passive majority.
Communities (of nations, religions, sects) unify men but it is a limited unification. These effectively divide man from man. Instead of striving for own good, individual efforts are subverted for communal benefit. Collectives are restrained in their aspirations and achievements by their self-imposed boundaries or conflict of interests or sloth. A collective restrains the potential of the individual.
Unfortunately, the forces of division are so firmly entrenched that people are incapable of even imagining a free world. And the collectives command disproportionate physical force to defend their positions against individual resistance; transformation to a free world, thus, being near impossible. However, the least thinking men can do is rid themselves of all loyalties to collectives not formed by them.
When men start following a religion that they have created, are loyal to a nation that they have made and are associated with communities whose goals are aligned to their personal objectives, we would have taken the first step towards a free world.

Asshole! You read Ayn Rand and thought she was the ultimate answer to all riddles plaguing your pale, pimple-infested quasi-adolescent existence?
Come clean, you unwashed gutterspout! You don't like the way current communities exist? Go fuck yourself in the jungle. And the next time you litter on our roads, pick up your trash with your teeth and drag yourself backwards to the nearest trash bin, and stay there.
You don't like the religion your daddy gave you? Go invent a new one, and make other confused assholes its followers. Then swim out to sea, find an uninhabited island, call it your nation, procreate and perish.
Just make sure you don't spoil my view.

Asshole! So you work for a living? And what is it you make work that makes you so special? Your asshole?
Religions, sects, etc. are dreamt up to give people a diversion from going out to kill everybody to let start the charity from home. Accept it, or convert to Chistianity.

BY so far, the best comment I have ever read on unity, loyalty & community
