Doesn’t make sense ... Objectivism is the essence of Capitalism.

Huh, most Atheists are socialists, not Objectivists.

Perhaps, except when communists become our favorite group.

In that case, we un-employ capitalists, give their jobs to communists, and everyone loses.

See how that works.

“Doesn’t make sense ... Objectivism is the essence of Capitalism.”

If by objectivism you mean atheism, this could not possibly be more wrong. What is called capitalism is merely a system in which individuals are allowed to keep the the value that is produced by their work and innovation. This type of system can only work in a moral society in which people believe an individual's rights and value come from God and can not be appropriated by force by the government or other elites.

All totalitarian societies are atheistic and persecute religion. All free enterprise societies require strong moral values to function successfully.

I’m an atheist, and I’d walk barefoot over broken glass to vote against Obama.

“Doesn’t make sense ... Objectivism is the essence of Capitalism.”

The people in question reject religion (any given religion) because almost all require morality and some sort of personal responsibility.

Morality and personal responsibility are the anthesis of a modern liberal.
