How does Rand connect religion to collectivism in the book, The Virtue of Selfishness?

Rand does not delve too heavily in religious doctrines, but merely declares religion to be synonymous with collectivism in basic principles. She believes the notion of conducting one's life according to the divinity of nonexistent beings contradicts reality and functions as a manipulation of individuals. People are told to worship deities based on the principle of faith and are thus instructed to make their decisions on the basis of blind, irrational submission. Like altruism and communism, religion contradicts the idea of human survival.
