Objectivism and Religiosity

Randroids don't believe in a Divine Law Giver. They believe in Divine Law nonetheless. They don't call it that, of course. Far be it from them to succumb to such namby-pamby "mysticism"! No, they call their reality tunnel Objectivism. Because, you see, you can't have a sound system of morality without objectivity.

They proceed to confer their imprimatur on wholesale civilian slaughter. Incinerating innocent men, women, and children is OK according to Objectivist Holy Writ, so long as the right people--namely, that brood of vipers infesting the banks of the Potomac--are doing the incinerating. Civilization has its privileges--especially vis-a-vis mere savages.

You might object to Objectivism. You might deem their reality-tunnel flaky, cruel, and arbitrary. But at least Objectivists deal in reality. You can't accuse them of being religious.
