Hitler's philosophy the opposite of Stalin's? Not at all. They BOTH felt the individual must be subjugated to the collective. Same philosophy. Note the wording; "must be subjugated".
Again, you keep trying to conflate the classic definition of "liberal" with the modern usage of "liberal". In current usage, "liberal" is synonymous with "leftist".
And, no, leftists require individuals submit and follow the collective; conservatives require individuals to obey The Law, which is a foundational document designed to protect the rights of the individual. Not the same thing.

Objectivists don't require members to submit and follow, merely requires the individual to respect the rights of others *or they are not Objectivist*. Note the lack of coercion.
I understand atheism. YOU don't understand conservatism.
Please elaborate? How does celibacy turn one into a homosexual child predator?
Of course a personally reasonable atheist cannot be; he rejects the supremacy of God altogether; there's no "saving" to be done for an atheist.
Edit to add: In some religious philosophies, as I understand it, atheists are neither condemned nor saved, but enter "limbo", an indeterminate state. (and a "born-again atheist" would be contradictory).
I did *not* just Objectivism to justify immoral behavior, if you're referring to the statement that got me sent to Coventry. I tried demonstrating that Objectivist philosophy *can be used* to justify immoral behavior. (and NAMBLA is of the collective opinion that pedophilia isn't immoral, which goes to my point that without a foundation of morality, leftists can justify *any* behavior that makes them as individuals happy, without any framework to regulate their behavior).
You, with your myopic perspective, are the image of the current and future slave masters of the world. The current/future slave being any person of any color, of any sex, of any nationality and of any orientation. In short anyone who doesn't subscribe to your spoon-fed, kool aid saturated view of the world and how it should be.
The monumental heights of your gibberish transcend any value you offer to any conversation. If you are sincere in your words and your assessments then you willfully and voluntarily reject all rationality and reason.
Rant on.
