There will never be agreement on the question of “Existence of God”, since Christianism answer that by faith. Objectivism approach is like St. Thomas (see to believe). So, the debate is more productive if we compare ethics.
As someone who has been grown Protestant and then made my own “road to Damascus” to end as Objectivist, I have to say that very much of the principles in the Bible are good and in accord with Objectivism. Of course, there are irreconciliable differences, but so there are between different branches of Christianism. The best part is what we have in common: individual responsability, limited government (read 1° Samuel 8 ) and long time tested principles like “He who does not work, neither shall he eat”.
Ayn Rand stated she was NOT a activist-atheist: she didn’t believe but she didn’t go around bothering people with that. I remember she said, whether you believe Man was created by God, or evolved in Nature, it is still true Man is an specific entity with specific characteristics (reason, free will) and specific requirements for functioning (freedom).
Therefore, I firmly believe we can collaborate when our objectives are the same, and go separate ways when is not, but we can respect each other.
