Paul Ryan was known to say positive things about Ayn Rand but was pretty much forced by the rest of the party to disavow her influence on him, largely because the media published a million articles as soon as he was the nominee linking him to the nasty Atheist word. Most of the real hard-core Objectivists are Atheists. I view them a little the same was I view Marxists, they are Atheists because their Dogma almost mandates them to be, mostly not because they have actually thought it out on their own.
In practice, the overwhelming majority of conservative Christians happily replace the New (but certainly never the Old) Testament with Atlas Shrugged and pay lip service to the Jesus myth because they have to if they don't want to go to hell.
