But you did drop the context. Faith and Religion are the private right of the individual (which the first amendment is there to reiterate and protect, if not "foster"). The question she was asked in that quote was, "why?"

Are you suggesting that religious agreement (or uniformity) should be a precondition of law making (politics)?

Let's not be insulting.

I had understood that you introduced some quotes by Rand that she offered in a manner to negotiate the issue of her robust atheism. The quote seemed to say that her beliefs were little more than a way of saying religious belief was faith and since she felt all questions could only be addressed in public society by rationalism, religious belief must always be set aside in public decision making.

I was suggesting that Miss Rand was self-serving in such an argument -- take it or leave it if you don't agree as I am not disputing you, but objecting to Rand.
