Bro. You just made my argument for me. Just stop. Objectivism is not a Religion. There is no baptism or initiation. There is no lodge or church. there is no restriction on how you live. You have no boss or doctrine you need live by. Yes, Rand came up with the idea and others helped frame it afterward. But if you say that you have an Objectivist outlook on existence and desire to live how you want, there is no one who can challenge that without making themselves look ignorant. Religion forces your cooperation as an individual in order to receive their 'knowledge'. Objectivism has no foundation to expect as such. This is why it is nothing.....I repeat, nothing like the 5% nation.
