He didn't realize Ayn Rand was an atheist until 2012? He didn't pick that up from the whole "me is the highest power" undercurrent? If you can even call it an undercurrent, it's more like a firehouse of morally-unmoored egotism!

A special challenge for atheists is making sure they don't start worshipping themselves. I think Bob Dylan was on to something when he said "you gotta serve SOMEbody". (yes, I know it's also true that too many theists think they are worshipping God, but that somehow, pure coincidence, I am sure, their God wants exactly what *they* want).

Hey, nothing wrong with being an atheist!

What a broad generalization.
No not broad. I said it can be a challenge, not that most, many etc atheists do this. But Rand did.
Somehow this comment duplicated duplicated itself
When you're a fan of Ayn Rand, it's always good to ignore stuff like her atheism or collecting social security.
