Reply #63: Religious people of the right wing have no monopoly [View All]

on those objectionable economic viewpoints. Ayn Rand's "philosophy" is very much on the ascendant in the American right wing, with major players like Alan Greenspan and politicians like Rand Paul--actually named for her. As I'm sure you know, a major component of Rand's Objectivism is atheism. And no, I'm not saying that atheism is responsible for those viewpoints. What I am saying is that socially destructive greed is independent of theism or atheism.

It's not clear, in any case, why you're blaming religion for economic discrimination based on laissez-faire capitalism or racism. Some of the most cogent and effective protest against such things has been based in religion.
