DK KD  Ayn Rand, staunch atheist and a fiercely patriotic American, was once 
DKK D  asked what she thought of the phrase "under God" in the pledge of 
DK KD  allegience and "In God We Trust" on American currency.  She replied
DDDD   that it didn't bother her one bit... her god was Reason, and so there
       was no conflict at all.
