Why Objectivism is not a religion.

Geserit at the Ayn Rand Livejournal forum began an interesting discussion.

But, like most armchair philosophers, the participants use far too many extraneous words.

It can be reduced to Howard Roarkian efficiency.

Objectivism is not a religion because all religions demand certain matters be taken on faith. Objectivists are encouraged to take NOTHING on faith, but rather rational skepticism. Even Ayn Rand's own words.
