When you choose to limit your beliefs/thinking to one rigid group of ideas, you are chaining your mind and limiting your invidual freedom. Society as a whole needs groups to survive, but the groups are all individuals pretty much all looking out for number 1 when it comes down to it.
This is why I choose to stay away from religion. Once you put a label on yourself as one religion or another, you have put yourself into a box. And sometimes it is very very hard to get out of that box once you are inside (like breaking the bonds of childhood indoctrination into religion).
