I, too, have differences with Rand's atheism which influences her philosophy; however, I agree with her philosophy of economics. She is an avowed capitalist and believes that the free enterprise system helps humanity far more than socialism. When I read her book, AS, I could relate to her characters. I've run into people just like the ones in the book, especially in anything that is run by the government. The quickest way to ruin something is to let Washington run it.

Rand’s aetheism is where I have the real difference with her philosophy too. Other than that, I am pretty much in full agreement with her.
