Atheism is not a set of beliefs, justa disbelief in god. It's not a religion.

@eyecoin Atheism, by its definition means: "absence of belief". The case of not believing in God is based on rational conviction, and not in some supernatural superstition or make-believe. Certainly, if you want believe in an almighty God, a tree spirit, in the Flying Spaghetti Monster or in Santa Claus I honestly don't care, as long as you do not force it upon me. However saying that not believing in these things is a belief in itself is just absurd.

Since when has atheism stopped being a religious conviction? Religion takes on all forms, including atheism.

What about Nietzsche? If he says EVERY philosopher since Aristotle defended self-interest as moral ideal he is forgetting Nietzsche here.

Sounds like you've given up already. Religious people can be converted to atheism, not all of them are completely fargone, many are earnestly looking for the best way to live their lives, they just don't see things clearly

Too bad Ayn Rand's philosophy is Atheistic. This means it will never catch on for the simple fact that most people in the world are religious. It will be a cold day in Hell.
The best you can do is to try to downsize government in a way that doesnt alienate religious people.
this guy is great!

I know what altruism means. Read my post again. It says, "Ayn Rand correctly identified Nietzsche as an altruist -- since he advocated sacrificing others for ones own gain." The word "altruism" is derived from the Latin word, "alter" -- which means: other. It was philosophers who defined it as an ethical code of sacrifice. Rand correctly identified Nietzsche as altruist because he advocated sacrificing others. Self interest is not feeling a will to power; it is using your rational mind to think.
