Islam has about 1/3rd as well, so what does that say about Mohammad?
Rand has few followers, however her impact has been great. In many surveys people have rated "Atlas Shrugged" as the second most influential work in their lives behind the bible.
I am by no means an objectivist, and I find Rand to be an extremely flawed individual. However, to deny the impact she has had intellectually in the US in the 20th century is ignorant, and as such she needs to be studied like Marx should be studied.
