Ayn Rand an Atheist

[Eastoff]

Why don't the right wing media mention her Atheism when they invoke their mighty capitalist goddess?

Why does it matter? Why SHOULD they mention it?

Atheist are the fastest growing demographic group in the world. It can't happen fast enough for me though.

Not every right wing maniac is a crazy religious fanatic?

Some Americans are anti-government and pro-business.

Some Americans are pro-Christian and very much in favor of government reflecting their personal morality.

The two groups came together in the Republican party because it's a two-party government, and if you don't join one side or the other, you won't have any say at all.

Over time they seem to have made it work, glossing over the obvious contradictions between the two groups in the interest of beating Democrats. But I very much doubt that leaders in the "pro-Christian" group read much Ayn Rand, just like I very much doubt leaders in the "pro-business" group read much of the Bible.

You can't honestly be a Christian and a Capitalist. If you claim you are, then you're a liar.

Christians worship a fictional being who demands they not worship any other "Gods".

Capitalists worship only money.

Really? I always thought Christians were capitalist who used the worship of a fictional being to generate money for themselves under the guise of religion. Selling snake oil has come so far over the years.

Ha, ha, ha, ha. You are so misinformed that it's amusing. Thanks for the laughs!

The information is there, what is there to miss? Please explain away that money/ownership/power are not the goals of every capitalist.
