It may seem that propponents and lovers of reason, like Ayn Rand and Stephen Hicks are strict materialists, atheists and and can be either liberal or conservative secular humanists.
As an ontological moderate, I do not agree with Rand and Hicks that there is only the material world, and that man is the measure of all things, and only reason will enlighten us, set us free, make us wealthy, healthy and happy.
I do agree that we should think more than feel, that the material world is real, and I like what these Objectivists have to offer.
But Irrationalists like Existentialists and Theists (some reason about God too) are required, with their faith, uncorroborated belief, and their pious feelings, are required to help us understand God, and make metaphysical sense of the world.
