And that is what Randians simply refuse to accept about their ideology.

That it all highlights the raw hubris of a committed atheist insisting on telling religious people what their religion “really” means passes almost unnoticed.
Indeed, giving your life to save that of a neighbor is noted as being worthwhile, something that was obviously inconceivable to Rand, who preferred trying to explain why it was acceptable to kill a security just because someone else misused your idea and were building something you didn’t like with it.

And of course that exposes a more critical fact:
Objectivism is neither definitive nor synonymous with reasonable and rational atheism.
Being compatible or incompatible with the one neither mandates nor precludes compatibility or incompatibility with some other.
