Excellent! You were there at the height of Rand's popularity. So you would be very well aware of her renown, her forthright atheist beliefs, and her lack of tolerance for religion.
Atlas Shrugged, to this day, remains a testament to Rand's anti-Christian philosophy.

You have it backwards. No one had heard of Ayn Rand or her philosophy in 1960. Sure, she had readers, but that was it. It took Paul Ryan to make her famous.
