I am a fan of Ayn Rand's books (still am), but she was a piece of work (and not in a good way) in her personal life and anyone following her as a guru is nuts. It is possibly for a person to hit on ideas and themes that have merit (there is some merit to her emphasis on the individual) without being mindless and assuming she had all the truth (which she most certainly did not).
Throw out the religion and take on a cult?
