as recently as 1991, a survey by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club found that readers rated "Atlas" as the second-most influential book in their lives, behind only the Bible.


What does that tell you? (Think in terms of her popularity and religious cults.)


There is no correlation between the popularity of the Bible and the popularity of the novel Atlas Shrugged.


There is only a correlation between the very common, uncritical minds, who simply read and believe something because it comes from "the authority of" some book or scripture (belief by a leap of faith). One cannot take seriously, the opinions of uncritical thinkers who only read something and believe it in the absence of proof of its validity.
(I think that's why Conrad was laughing)


Wow, you sure do make plenty of unproven assumptions.

Well, I find it rather amusing that someone would claim that a fan of Atlas Shrugged has an uncritical mind and considers the novel to have come from an authority figure.
