[Randex]Creation, evolution and the search for common ground

[O-Land News Junkie]

I distinctly remember what I thought the underlying message [of capitalism] was: "individuals should be left to decide what is right and wrong." Andrew Bernstein, author of the Capitalist Manifesto, would seem to agree. In an article for the Ayn Rand Institute, Bernstein suggests "religion and capitalism are incompatible since capitalism promotes reason, individualism, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, while religionists promote sacrifice, the public good, and collectivism." [....] If what Bernstein is suggesting is true, it appears that capitalism as a social system needs people to believe in individualism.
