Sorry Ralph, but this just isn’t so. Firstly, an atheist is not automatically a ‘fallen man’. Ayn Rand was entirely right that Objectivism is not hostile to individualist religions like Christianity, and it is entirely inappropriate for the Tea Party to make a religion litmus test. The Tea Party is about economic issues, not social issues. The Tea Party was created because lots of us have gotten tired of evangelicals hijacking the Republican Party and making everything about religion. I dont care what religion my President or congressman is, so long as they are literate when it comes to economics and understand that limited government is essential to a strong economy.
