Actually, Rand wrote in her diary, when she was thirteen years old, that she wanted to be known as the greatest enemy of religion. So it's reasonable to think of Objectivism as her attempt to validate a philosophical system that has the ethical objectivity of religious belief without a god. Her atheism preceded her philosophical system.

So no, you can't be a religious Objectivist because atheism is the founding premise.

Schiff uses too much hyperbole for my liking. To the extent that he speaks about the need for freedom, he is right; but, then people like Milton Friedman also spoke about that. Indeed, there have been many economists that sound good in many things they say, but those are things that folks like Adam Smith said more than a century ago. So, Schiff is a mix. The biggest thing I do not understand about folks like him is how they think U.S. government spending is bad, but think that Chinese government spending --- which is huge -- is relatively benign.

Out of curiosity, are you a Moslem, CapitalistSwine? It seems like all you do here is defend Islam.
