First, Rand makes the mistake of lumping all believers in with “looters.”

This is absolutely, unoquivocally wrong. She made the distinction in blind faith, be it to a higher power spiritually or to the government, as opposed to what one knows is true as being wrong. The looters were not the Christian believers. The looters were the people in society who expect their happiness to come at others expense. That their well-being is owed to them by those who have truly earned it. If a Christian falls into that category, so be it. He has placed himself there of his own volition.

That was not my take on it. In fact, in Galt's big speech at the end, she did everything but use the name Christian in belittling "mystics" for believing in a power higher than self.
