I self-identify as a libertarian, which means I can play on libertarian sports teams even though I was born a conservative, but it bothers me that there's something eerily "religious" in [many libertarians' fervor and uncompromising positions](https://thedailyeudemon.com/this-is-why-we-cant-have-nice-things-directionalists-vs-destinationists/).

I'm firmly convinced it's a situation of the left hemisphere going bonkers in such people, but it's probably not gnostic. A religion, yes, but not a gnostic religion. It's some other kind of religion (in Ayn Rand's case, it's Satanism . . . I say that only half-jokingly, given that the LeVey's *Satanic Bible* was, in LeVey's words, "[just Ayn Rand’s philosophy with ceremony and ritual added](https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2011/06/the-fountainhead-of-satanism?ref=the-daily-eudemon)").
