This article is trying to deny that Ayn Rand was an inspiration to American conservatism all because of her atheism. She rejected religion on the basis that she viewed it as totalitarian and removing individual freedom and individual responsibility from people. Ayn Rand was admired by British conservative icon Margaret Thatcher and Ayn Rand is an inspiration to the Tea Party movement, her book Atlas Shrugged is supported by libertarian conservatives. Aside from disagreements by religious social conservatives to her atheism, why is this bias against Ayn Rand so strong here?--[[User:TheQuestioner|TheQuestioner]] 13:32, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

== Libertarian? ==
Ayn Rand was not a libertarian, and, in fact, was highly critical (to put it mildly) of libertarian philosophy, which she regarded as hijacking aspects of her writings. Is there any objection to me correcting this?
