Excellent article.

Question: Did Aristotle believe in a god/gods or was he an atheist?

I find it curious that a belief in a god/gods is deemed important in judging a persons life and/or philosophy.

Aristotle & Rand should be graded on their actions/accomplishments, not on the values of their peers.

You should find it curious. It makes a big difference between an ancient and a modern.

It's not important to create a judgment, but it is important as a source of inspiration. Whether or not there is a god or gods is the ultimate starting point for a train of thought regardless of the philosopher.
